The mainstream spot quotation range for xylene in East China is 6,980-7,020 RMB/ton, down 100 RMB/ton from the previous trading day. Affected by the weak performance of crude oil, the market generally adopts a wait-and-see attitude, resulting in sluggish spot procurement demand. Although domestic supply of toluene and xylene remains tight, and the export arbitrage window continues to open, providing some support for prices, the market is expected to maintain a volatile trend.
