As of the 24th, the average domestic price of toluene was 4,037.5 RMB/ton, and the price fell near the weekend. Affected by public health incidents, some domestic downstream terminal factories may be closed early, and the demand for toluene in the market is weak.
At present, the supply-side equipment is running smoothly, the offer is relatively high and the intention to sell at low prices is not high. On the other hand, due to public health incidents, the holiday time of downstream terminals may be advanced, and the industry is cautious, mainly purchasing on demand, and buying intentions are light. The market for polyether is down, and the downstream is mostly holding a wait-and-see attitude. The industry mainly purchases on demand, the buying enthusiasm is average, and the purchase of TDI is limited.

In addition, the downstream may enter the holiday early, the demand is weak, the on-site trading is deserted.
