Analysis review

In terms of crude oil, on the 2nd, OPEC+ member countries suddenly announced a collective reduction in oil production, leading to a significant increase in international oil prices. In October 2022, OPEC announced a production reduction plan of 2 million barrels per day. In February 2023, Russia announced a production reduction plan of 500,000 barrels per day, which will reduce oil supply by a total of 3.66 million barrels per day, accounting for approximately 3.7% of global demand. This was beneficial for the toluene market, with a slight increase in toluene prices on the 3rd day and a 100 RMB/ton increase in toluene prices in South China.
