During the current period (September 18–24, 2026), market prices for industrial C10 crude aromatics declined. As of Thursday, September 24, the mainstream price in East China stood at 7,350 RMB/ton, a decrease of 100 RMB/ton compared to the same time last week.

Regarding industrial C10 crude aromatics, consecutive drops in international crude oil prices dampened downstream buyers' sentiment. However, refineries maintained strong support for prices, leading to relatively stable operations. Subsequently, affected by declining terminal demand, prices for light fractions of downstream high-boiling aromatic solvents fell significantly, prompting major refineries to adjust their prices downward. Nevertheless, on Thursday, buoyed by rising international crude oil prices and robust demand for heavy fractions, spot prices in the Shandong region surged strongly.
For Type I industrial C10 crude aromatics, strong downward trends in crude oil prices early in the week heightened market wait-and-see attitudes. Additionally, with the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays approaching, refineries focused on inventory clearance, resulting in a significant drop in market prices this week.
