Domestic Mixed Xylene trades steady near recent lows
Domestic Mixed Xylene values remained largely rangebound this week, with only a marginal adjustment keeping sentiment soft. Indian Mixed Xylene prices at Hazira settled at Rs 74/kg on January 13, slipping Rs 0.50/kg from the previous week. While the absolute weekly change was small, it confirmed that the market is holding close to the lower end of its recent band, making short-term procurement decisions sensitive to incremental movements rather than directional shifts.
Looking beyond the week, the fortnight comparison shows a decline of Rs 1.50/kg from levels seen around the end of December. On a monthly basis, the correction is more visible, with prices easing by about Rs 5/kg from mid-December highs near Rs 79/kg. Over the past 30 days, values have effectively moved from the upper end of the recent range back toward support, indicating a consolidation phase after the earlier drop. On a three-month view, current levels sit slightly below the Rs 75/kg zone observed in mid-October, while the six-month comparison still reflects a firmer undertone versus Rs 72.50/kg in mid-July. From a year-on-year perspective, today’s market remains higher than mid-January last year, underscoring that Indian Mixed Xylene prices are still comparatively stronger on a longer horizon despite the recent softness.
