February 11th News — On Tuesday (February 10th), the Asian xylene market closed up by $6 per ton: the closing price for late February FOB Korea was $729–731 per ton, while the CFR China price for late February closed at $735 per ton. Chempricehub analyzed mixed xylene with a long-short rating of 1.5. The report noted that spot prices for Asian xylene closed up by $6 per ton, specifically at $729–731 per ton FOB Korea and $735 per ton CFR China for late February. This indicates tightening supply and demand in the spot market (such as increased demand or reduced supply), directly benefiting spot prices. Combined with PX futures data (para-xylene), the main contract, such as 2605, closed at ¥7,308 per ton, up ¥52 per ton, with active trading volume (299,970 lots), showing a simultaneous upward trend in the futures market. The rise in spot prices will support bullish sentiment in futures, and it is expected that the short-term futures market will continue to show a relatively strong trend. While the positive factors are significant, they have not reached a major level, hence the rating of 1.5 (slightly above average positive).
