The mainstream spot quotation range for toluene in East China is 5,230-5,300 yuan/ton, an increase of 20 yuan/ton compared to the previous trading day. Toluene and mixed xylenes mainly experienced narrow-range fluctuations during the day, supported by crude oil and overnight aromatics market sentiment recovery, as well as tight spot supply. However, weak demand from blending, disproportionation, and downstream chemical sectors has led to insufficient structural support, making it difficult for prices to break out of the current volatile pattern.
