Toluene
The US toluene price is reported at around
$3.55/gal. The whole aromatics complex
was facing downward pressure for November.
The October benzene contract price in the
US is down a modest 3 c/gal to $4.37/gal,
reflecting the relatively weak demand in the
market, balanced by limited supply. On the
spot market, benzene prices were at around
$4.05/gal on 30 October, according to
PetroChemWire. Toluene prices are falling
with aromatics and reflecting the seasonal
drop in demand for gasoline.
