International crude oil continued to oscillate in a wide range last week and finally closed down. Toluene and xylene are operating in a rigid state in East China, the load production of refineries in Shandong is flat compared with the previous week, the demand side disproportionation unit is in general operation, the market support rate is insufficient, the oil is weak and the diesel is strong, some refineries have the phenomenon of accumulation, the overall toluene market changes are limited, and xylene is affected by the collection and production of a plant in Lianyungang downstream, and the market focus has shifted.

It is expected that there are many external uncertainties this week, and the East China region remains mainly cautious operators, and the Shandong refinery is currently subject to cost constraints, with a high probability of stable operation or a small pullback. Pay attention to the external news surface, and the impact of related policies, need to exercise caution.
