East China Toluene Supply-Demand Remains Tight; Prices Expected to Maintain High-Level Volatility in the Short Term

Chempricehub, October 10

The mainstream spot price range for toluene in the East China region is RMB 9,000–9,100 per ton. The markets for toluene and xylene fluctuated at high levels during the previous trading day. With limited overnight fluctuations in crude oil prices, the market lacked clear directional guidance. Downstream demand remains resilient; with low domestic inventories and tight supply conditions, holders have maintained firm quotations. In the short term, the market is expected to continue fluctuating at high levels.
