Lead: Driven by factors such as reduced supply of industrial C10 heavy aromatics, domestic plants producing durene via the C10 method are facing feedstock shortages. Low operating rates have curtailed spot supply of durene, prompting market participants to strengthen their price-holding stance. Overall, the market has stabilized after a decline, with mainstream prices ranging from 10,000 to 11,000 yuan/ton.
