Morning Market Brief: Industrial C10 Aromatic Hydrocarbons

I. Key Focus Points

1. Crude Oil: Reports indicating a potential resumption of US-Iran negotiations have eased market concerns, leading to a decline in international crude oil prices. The NYMEX WTI futures contract expiring in October closed at $95.78/barrel, down $4.52/barrel (-4.51% WoW). The ICE Brent futures contract expiring in November closed at $100.34/barrel, down $3.53/barrel (-3.40% WoW). China's INE crude oil futures contract for November 2026 fell by CNY 23.6 to CNY 730.8/barrel during the day session and dropped another CNY 16.5 to CNY 714.3/barrel in the night session.

2. Downstream High-Boiling Aromatic Solvents: Prices remained stable with some downward pressure.

Core Logic: Crude oil futures closed lower, exerting downward pressure on downstream markets. The high-boiling aromatic solvent market is experiencing stable but slightly declining prices due to sell-off activities. The industrial-grade C10 crude aromatics market faces potential downside risks.

III. Market Outlook

The closing decline in international crude oil prices has dampened downstream purchasing sentiment. In the downstream high-boiling aromatic solvent market, sellers are prioritizing inventory clearance, resulting in prices that are stable but trending slightly downward. It is expected that the industrial-grade C10 crude aromatics market will maintain stability with a slight downward bias today.
