Ethylene Dichloride / Vinyl Chloride Monomer: Asia

摘要

EDC: The Asian ethylene dichloride market fall $8/mt week on week Thursday to $302/mt CFR Far East Asia/Southeast Asia as it came under pressure from rising supply, especially from Brazil and Europe. Bids were heard at $300/mt against offers in the mid-$300s/mt. A Northeast Asia buyer were heard to have bought a cargo from Brazil at $293/mt CFR Far East Asia arriving end-March. This was not taken fully into the Platts assessment process as the laycan falls beyond Platts methodology of 15-30 days. A Europe-origin cargo that is expected to arrive to India in the first half of April was heard concluded at $290-$300/mt CFR India.
