Chempricehub's analysis of mixed xylene: Bull-bear score: 1.5 The article indicates that the spot quotation for mixed xylene in East China increased by 150 yuan per ton to 6,450–6,480 yuan per ton.

However, attention should be paid to potential volatility from the Iranian situation and risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Overall, the bullish factors are strong. Toluene, Bull-bear score: 1 The article mentions tight supply of toluene, overall strength in upstream and downstream products, and good market support, which are favorable for spot prices.
