I. Key Focus Points
Crude Oil: Houthi attacks on Saudi energy facilities have heightened market concerns regarding supply risks, driving up international crude oil prices. NYMEX WTI crude oil futures (November contract) closed at 95.09 USD/barrel, an increase of 0.95 USD/barrel (+1.01% WoW). ICE Brent crude oil futures (December contract) closed at 106.06 USD/barrel, an increase of 0.37 USD/barrel (+0.35% WoW). China INE crude oil futures (December 2026 contract) rose by 14.5 to 746.5 CNY/barrel in the day session, but fell by 17 to 729.5 CNY/barrel in the night session.
Downstream High-Boiling Aromatic Solvents: Prices experienced a slight decline.
Core Logic: Crude oil futures posted a modest gain. Downstream high-boiling aromatic solvent markets lacked upward momentum, while the industrial C10 heavy aromatics market remained largely stable.
