Xylene prices are trending downward, with the domestic aromatics market showing weak performance.

Chempricehub, November 11:

The mainstream quoted price for xylene in Shandong stands at RMB 7,100–7,120 per ton, a decrease of RMB 200 per ton from the previous day. Recently, domestic prices for toluene and xylene have continued to decline, with weakening crude oil prices weighing on the aromatics market. On the supply side, refinery output remains stable and port inventories are ample. Downstream buyers are purchasing only on an as-needed basis, with limited opportunistic restocking during price dips. Overall, the market is operating weakly.
