The mainstream quotation range for xylene in the South China market is 6,750–6,950 RMB/ton, up 50 RMB/ton from the previous trading day. Sinopec South China Company's listed price for xylene is 6,950 RMB/ton. Crude oil closed lower overnight but rebounded slightly during intraday trading, while aromatics showed little overall fluctuation overnight, with no clear directional trend in the market. Due to expectations of a weaker crude oil outlook in the medium term, market sentiment remains cautious, with downstream purchasing interest weak and trading activity relatively subdued, dragging down toluene and xylene prices slightly in recent days. However, support from cost-side factors and end-user demand is providing a floor, and prices are expected to continue fluctuating within a narrow range in the short term.
