The mainstream spot quotation range for toluene in East China is 5,490-5,550 yuan/ton, up 80 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. In the previous trading day, toluene and xylene markets continued to strengthen, supported by rising crude oil prices, with industry participants showing strong willingness to maintain high prices. The weakening of PX futures during the night session limited the upward movement of mixed xylenes, while strong benzene prices drove toluene higher. During the day, the aromatics market exhibited strong fluctuations, with volatility expected to narrow.
