Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corp., the Middle East’s largest company by market capitalization, has reduced its nomination for April monoethylene glycol (MEG) Asian Contract Price to $1,120/tonne, $60/tonne less than March’s level, ICIS reported.

SABIC, Shell Chemicals and MEGlobal, the world’s three major seller of MEG, sell their contract based on certain pricing formulae. They often give their clients competitive discounts compared to the advertised market price.

 

MEGlobal price nomination for April is $1,100/tonne, $80 less than Marchs contract.
