On October 21, Sinopec South China Company set the posted price for xylene at RMB 8,900 per ton. In the previous trading session, toluene and xylene prices fluctuated but trended upward, driven by gains in crude oil and aromatics; however, downstream demand remained weak. Overnight, both crude oil and aromatic futures declined, dampening market sentiment. Although tight domestic supply provided some support, sluggish downstream procurement persisted. Consequently, spot market trends are expected to remain soft in the short term.
