SABIC raises April MEG Asian CP to $960/ton

10/03/2015 Argaam

Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) hiked the price of its monoethylene glycol (MEG) Asian contracts to $960 per ton in April, an increase of $80 month-on-month.

MEG spot prices dropped to $820 per ton last week.

SABIC, MEGlobal, and Shell Chemicals—the world’s three major sellers of MEG— provide their contracts based on a specific pricing formula. They often give their clients competitive discounts compared to the announced prices.

MEGlobal nominated raising its April MEG contract offer by $20 month-on-month to $940 per ton.

SABIC is currently the world’s largest producer of MEG, which is used mainly as feedstock in the downstream polyester industry.
