The mainstream quotation range for xylene in the South China market is 6,800–7,050 RMB/ton, up 50 RMB/ton from the previous trading day. The domestic toluene and xylene markets are generally operating on the weak side in the short term. Affected by the decline in international crude oil futures, the aromatics market is under pressure, with subdued trading activity and a wait-and-see attitude prevailing among downstream participants. Overall, toluene and xylene are expected to continue fluctuating within a narrow range in the near term.
