During the holiday period, xylene in the Shandong region first weakened and then strengthened, and refinery prices slightly declined compared to before the holiday. Although there was a slight premium of 50-100 yuan/ton for transactions on the last day of the holiday, the overall replenishment demand on site was limited. In May, the gradual relaxation of export news for refined oil products still had a certain impact on the market. However, due to the overall pressure of domestic gasoline inventory, rumors of export volume in the early stage were not enough to make a significant change to the high inventory pattern of domestic gasoline. The gasoline market still operated under pressure, and the main refinery reduced oil production and increased production, resulting in an increase in xylene emissions in May and an increase in market sales pressure. The short-term market on the demand side has not shown significant improvement, and the market is focusing on when gasoline exports will be released. There is a possibility of post holiday replenishment in the short-term market, but the duration is relatively short. It is expected that the post holiday xylene market will fluctuate weakly.
