In East China, the mainstream spot toluene market offers a price range of 7,000–7,050 CNY/ton, down 100 CNY/ton from the previous trading day. Affected by weak crude oil trends, the overall market sentiment is dominated by caution, with sluggish spot procurement demand. Although domestic toluene and xylene supply remains tight, and the export arbitrage window continues to open, providing some support to prices, the market is expected to maintain a volatile trend.
