Morning Market Briefing for Industrial C10 Aromatics

Published on 2026-09-29

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Crude Oil: US-Iran relations remain in a stalemate, sustaining market concerns over supply risks and driving international crude oil prices higher. The NYMEX WTI futures contract for November closed at $92.60/bbl, up $0.19/bbl (+0.21% from the previous session). The ICE Brent futures contract for November closed at $105.28/bbl, up $0.96/bbl (+0.92%). The INE Shanghai crude oil futures contract (November 2026 expiry) rose by 9.3 to 734.1 yuan/barrel during the day session but fell by 22.5 to 711.6 yuan/barrel in the night session.

  2. Downstream Products: Prices of downstream high-boiling aromatic solvents have risen.

Core Logic: Crude oil futures closed higher, leading to increased prices for downstream high-boiling aromatic solvents. Consequently, there is an upward expectation for the industrial C10 mixed aromatics market.

III. Market Outlook

International crude oil prices closed higher, and refineries maintain a strong stance on holding prices.

    Crude-driven feedstock cost inflation is lifting C10 aromatics, yet weak downstream demand caps margin expansion. I expect stable prices with slight upward bias as refineries hold firm, but persistent geopolitical risk k..
