the spot price of isoxylene rose for the fifth consecutive week, with an increase of $35 ~ 40/ton, and the FOB South Korea price climbed to $680 ~ 695/ton. This price level is the highest level since November last year, which is mainly affected by the high prices of crude oil futures and xylene in the United States and the tight supply and demand in Asia.

olefin market
overall dynamics of ethylene: the market price was polarized at the beginning of the period, and the double buying and selling made it easier for moisture to enter. The bid price difference between parties reached $100/ton. However, the good news of the production failure in Thailand pushed the market onto an upward trajectory. Northeast Asia: the market is between bear market and weak market, and there is no clear price guidance.

butadiene Northeast Asia: spot market prices continue to weaken. The market view is that the feasible price of the shipment delivered at the end of July is $1300/ton (CFR Korea). This week, the demand from China is still sluggish, and the buyer's purchase intention price hovers around 1250 US dollars/ton (CFR China's main port).
