III. Market Outlook
International crude oil prices edged up slightly. On the demand side, market prices for downstream high-boiling aromatic solvents have stopped falling and stabilized, making it difficult to sustain upward pressure on C10 prices. Currently, C10 prices remain at high levels, with downstream enterprises primarily replenishing based on rigid demand. Therefore, the C10 market is expected to remain stable today with a wait-and-see attitude, showing only sporadic adjustments.
