The report indicates that Sinopec's toluene production is operating normally with stable output, and most products are used internally with steady production and sales. However, quoted prices have generally increased across East China, North China, South China, and Central China, with rises ranging from 150 to 500 yuan/ton. Specifically, East China and South China saw an increase of 500 yuan/ton to 6,400 yuan/ton, North China increased by 350 yuan/ton to 6,000 yuan/ton, and Central China rose by 150 yuan/ton to 6,400 yuan/ton.
