On January 4, Sinopec South China Company raised the initial listed price of xylene by 100–150 yuan/ton: Guangzhou Petrochemical’s isomer grade is priced at 5,800 yuan/ton, Maoming Petrochemical’s isomer grade is priced at 5,800 yuan/ton, and Sinopec Zhongke Refinery’s isomer grade is priced at 5,800 yuan/ton. PriceSeek’s analysis of mixed xylene shows a bullish-bearish score of 1.5. The report indicates that Sinopec South China Company’s increase in the listed price of xylene by 100–150 yuan/ton to 5,800 yuan/ton reflects tight supply and strong demand in the spot market, which is favorable for spot prices. Combined with relevant PX futures (para-xylene) data, such as the settlement price of contract 2609 at 7,190 yuan/ton, this news may boost bullish sentiment in the futures market and drive an upward price trend.
