On June 9, Sinopec South China Company's toluene ex-plant price was set at 6,950 RMB/ton. The aromatics market saw a volatile uptick yesterday, with limited upward momentum driven by crude oil gains and insufficient sustained strength. Export arbitrage remains marginally viable, supported by high feedstock price differentials and low refinery inventories. However, weak downstream demand from blending and chemical sectors, along with cautious purchasing by intermediate traders, suggests the spot market will likely consolidate in a narrow range today.
