The mainstream spot quotation range for xylene in East China is 6,900-6,980 RMB/ton, down 40 RMB/ton from the previous trading day. Supported by the relatively strong performance of aromatics during night trading, coupled with limited overall domestic supply pressure, market participants show a clear intention to hold prices firm. However, crude oil's sharp decline overnight has dampened trading sentiment. In summary, the market prices of toluene and xylene are expected to maintain a range-bound fluctuation in the short term.
