South China toluene market mainstream quotations today at 6,800-6,950 CNY/ton, up 30 CNY/ton from the previous trading day. Yesterday, the aromatics market fluctuated upward, with the crude oil price rise providing a relatively weak driving force and insufficient momentum for a sustained rally. Export arbitrage still offers slim margins, while high feedstock price spreads and low refinery inventory provide support. However, blending and chemical downstream demand remains subdued, and traders are cautious in procurement. It is expected that the spot market will consolidate within a narrow range today.
