Toluene Europe

The European toluene report is a weekly report that is published every Friday. ICIS covers monthly contracts, so there is a range of settlements between major buyers and sellers.

We also have spot prices for both Rotterdam and the Mediterranean region.

The report contains production news that includes plant shutdowns, any major changes in output, and trade flows such as import and export between regions.

As toluene is part of the aromatics complex, it can be used to make benzene and xylenes if the economics are right, so it is an important market to watch.
