2、 Fluctuation trend:

3、 Analysis and comments:

In terms of crude oil, under the background of the Fed's interest rate hike, the market's concern about the weak oil demand caused by the economic recession made the oil price lower. However, U.S. crude oil and gasoline inventories fell, and favorable conditions limited the decline. EIA data show that as of the week of May 13, the total crude oil inventory in the United States decreased by 8.404 million barrels month on month, the commercial crude oil inventory decreased by 3.39 million barrels month on month, the total gasoline inventory decreased by 4.78 million barrels month on month, and the distillate oil inventory increased by 1.24 million barrels month on month.

Today, Xinhai Petrochemical raised the price of mixed xylene by 50 RMB/ton.

Crude oil continued to fall yesterday, and the cost support weakened; Gasoline in Shandong fell, and the domestic mixed xylene negotiation was general, but the trend in East China was stronger with the support of relevant aromatics.
