January 29th News: The mainstream spot quotation range for toluene in the East China market is 5,490–5,550 yuan/ton, up 80 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. In the previous trading day, the toluene and xylene markets continued to strengthen, supported by rising crude oil prices, with industry participants showing strong willingness to maintain high prices during the day. The weakening of PX futures in the night session limited the upward movement of mixed xylenes, while the strength in benzene drove toluene. During the day, the aromatic hydrocarbon market showed strong fluctuations, with expected narrowing of volatility.
