Supply conditions have shaped the recent move. OPIS reported on 2026-08-24 that heavy maintenance at domestic plants reduced PX supply and increased import reliance in July. CCFGroup reported on 2026-08-07 that typhoon-related shipping disruptions in East China forced PTA plant production cuts and supply bottlenecks.

According to Claight market monitoring, escalating US-Iran conflict expectations drove a crude oil rally and upward price pressure in aromatics markets. Claight market monitoring also shows that domestic PX plant operating rates rebounded to approximately 74% alongside concentrated post-maintenance restarts.

Over the past 52 weeks the commodity reached a high of USD 1,541/tonne on 2026-03-10 and a low of USD 933.12/tonne on 2025-10-22.
