I. Key Focus Areas
Crude Oil: Tightening geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to pose supply risks, while market sentiment regarding global demand remains pessimistic, resulting in mixed movements in international crude oil prices. The NYMEX WTI crude oil November contract closed at $97.97/bbl, up $2.88/bbl (+3.03%); the ICE Brent crude oil December contract closed at $105.92/bbl, down $0.14/bbl (-0.13%). The INE Shanghai crude oil December 2026 contract fell by CNY 21.3 to CNY 725.2/bbl, then rose by CNY 0.8 to CNY 726.0/bbl during the night session.
Prices of downstream high-boiling aromatic solvents declined slightly.
Core Logic: With crude oil futures showing mixed trends and downward price expectations for downstream high-boiling aromatic solvents, the industrial-grade C10 heavy aromatics market is expected to remain stable with a slight downward bias.
