USD-based reference price for imported European aromatics products

Note: Calculations are based on the daily closing price of Brent crude oil, using a fixed cost formula (derived from standard USD contract settlement formulas) and incorporating daily changes in premiums/discounts.

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, adjustments must be made according to product density. Contract negotiations reflected in the table are settled in USD; the RMB benchmark price is a reference value converted at the daily exchange rate. These figures serve solely as references for USD contract settlements and do not represent spot transaction prices. For contracts involving letter-of-credit agency services, users must independently account for applicable agency fees.
