The mainstream spot quotation range for xylene in East China is 6920-6980 RMB/ton, an increase of 50 RMB/ton compared to the previous trading day. The significant rise in crude oil boosted the aromatics night session, benefiting the spot market for toluene and xylene. Previously, market prices had been range-bound, with downstream demand constrained. Additionally, the nearing closure of the toluene export arbitrage window led traders to adopt a cautious procurement approach. In the short term, the market is expected to maintain a narrow range-bound fluctuation.
