PX futures fall 2.8% in night session; low-sulfur fuel oil drops over 2.4%
The synchronized drop across PX, PTA and fuel oil points to a sector-wide repricing rather than an isolated move in any single contract, which matters because these products sit on the same refining and aromatics chain. That correlation suggests the pressure is coming from a common driver—likely feedstock or macro sentiment—rather than product-specific fundamentals. Whether the weakness stays confined to the night session or carries into the next day's trading is the open question worth watching.
