Domestic Xylene Market Trends

On April 15, the benchmark price for mixed xylene, as reported by SunSirs, stood at 7,025.75 RMB/ton—a decrease of 12.19% compared to the beginning of the month (8,000.75 RMB/ton).

On April 15, the mainstream spot price range for xylene in the East China region stood at 7,200–7,350 RMB/ton, a decrease of 100 RMB/ton compared to the previous trading day. The sharp decline in crude oil prices overnight weighed on overall market sentiment, shifting it toward pessimism; consequently, buyer bids during the day may trend lower. However, current xylene prices are already at a relatively low level compared to the previous period when crude oil prices were at their peak. Furthermore, given the strong performance of PX and toluene in overnight trading, the favorable price spreads relative to these related products are expected to provide a certain degree of support. Overall, the xylene market is projected to exhibit a weak and volatile price trend.
