Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corp., the Middle East’s largest company by market capitalization, has reduced its nomination for January monoethylene glycol (MEG) Asian Contract Price to $950/tonne, $50/tonne less than December’s level, ICIS reported.  

 

Spot MEG discussions continued a slump, reaching $760/ tonne CRF NE Asia last week.

 

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

 

MEGlobal price nomination for January is $940/tonne, $80 less than Decembers contract.
