The mainstream spot quotation range for toluene in East China is 6,900-6,950 RMB/ton, up 10 RMB/ton from the previous trading day. Consecutive gains in crude oil prices have bolstered the aromatics market. Driven by positive factors, toluene and xylene prices fluctuated upward on the trading day. In the short term, daily prices are expected to hold steady within a range. However, domestic end-user demand remains insufficient, and traders are cautious about procurement. Additionally, the narrowing arbitrage spread for toluene exports has weighed on transactions, leading to a cautious sentiment in the market. The market is expected to maintain a narrow fluctuating trend.
