USD-based indicative pricing for imported European aromatic products

Note: Calculations are based on the closing price of Brent crude for the day, using a fixed cost estimation formula (derived from general USD contract settlement formulas), and incorporating changes in the daily premium/discount.

The prices calculated in this table use imported European mixed aromatics as the reference benchmark. For USD benchmark prices in Asia, Korea, and other regions, product density must be taken into account. Contract negotiations listed in the table are settled in USD; the RMB benchmark price is a reference value converted at the exchange rate of the day. These figures serve only as references for USD contract settlements and do not represent spot transaction prices for the day. For goods procured via L/C issuance on behalf of others, the service fees charged by the issuing party must be considered separately.
