April 27 - On April 24, the U.S. regional paraxylene market settlement price declined by $25/ton, closing at $1,414–$1,424/ton FOB US Gulf. According to Chempricehub's assessment of PX, the bullish-bearish rating is -1.5. The spot price of paraxylene in the U.S. region fell by $25/ton, closing at $1,414–$1,424/ton FOB US Gulf, representing a decrease of approximately 1.76%. This indicates an oversupply or weak demand in the international market, exerting a strong bearish impact on spot prices. Data from the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange on PX futures show that, for example, the settlement price of the 2701 contract was 8,784 yuan/ton (up 124 yuan). Although the current futures market is showing an upward trend, the decline in international spot prices may, through reduced import costs and sentiment transmission, increase downward pressure on the domestic futures market, thereby generating negative expectations for futures prices as well.
