The mainstream quotation range for xylene in the Shandong region is 6,830–6,850 yuan/ton, flat from the previous trading day. Affected by the weak trend in crude oil, the overall market sentiment is highly cautious, with spot procurement demand remaining sluggish. Although domestic supply of toluene and xylene remains tight and the export arbitrage window continues to open, providing some support to the market, prices are expected to maintain a volatile trend.
