January 23rd News — On Thursday (January 22nd), the international toluene market closed down by 4 cents per gallon: the January closing price for FOB USG was 267.25–267.35 cents per gallon, and the February closing price for FOB USG was 263.25–263.35 cents per gallon. Chempricehub’s analysis of toluene gave a bearish score of –1. The report indicated that the closing price of the international toluene spot market fell by 4 cents per gallon, with both January and February FOB USG prices declining. This suggests that market supply may have increased or demand weakened, putting downward pressure on spot prices. The price drop of approximately 1.5% is considered a moderate bearish signal, possibly due to inventory accumulation or signs of an economic slowdown, which could negatively impact the toluene spot market in the short term.
