In East China, the mainstream spot xylene quoting range is 6,400–6,500 CNY/ton, flat compared to the previous trading day. Domestic toluene and xylene markets have stopped declining and stabilized, temporarily putting the earlier downtrend on hold. The recovery of crude oil prices provides cost support to the market, leading to a slight rebound trend. However, due to geopolitical instability, market sentiment remains cautious, with insufficient bullish sentiment, limiting upside potential. Downstream buyers are only purchasing based on rigid demand, resulting in overall weak demand. Low operating rates in the industry fail to provide strong support. In the short term, the aromatics market is expected to fluctuate narrowly with a slight upward bias.
