Chempricehub Alert: International Xylene Prices Adjusted Upward
Published on 2026-02-26
February 26th News — On Wednesday (February 25th), the international xylene market closed up by 2 cents per gallon: FOB USG March closing price at 280.25–280.35 cents per gallon, and FOB USG April closing price at 280.25–280.35 cents per gallon. Chempricehub’s analysis of mixed xylene, with a long-short rating of 1, reports that the international xylene market closed up by 2 cents per gallon, with both March and April FOB USG prices quoted at 280.25–280.35 cents per gallon. This reflects signals of tightening supply-demand dynamics or strengthening demand, such as increased export activity in the U.S. Gulf region or a rebound in demand from downstream chemical industries. This increase (approximately equivalent to $6.14 per ton) is of moderate magnitude, indicating that short-term bullish sentiment is dominant, which is favorable for spot prices and may drive domestic mixed xylene spot quotations to follow suit. Considering overall market dynamics, a generally positive rating is given, with expectations that the spot market will exhibit a moderate upward trend.
