Spot PX decreased $18/mt on the week from soft demand and lower MX. There was an offer talked early in the week at $900/mt FOB but it was at least $30/mt too high for a trader to take to Asia and there was no demand from the East Coast at that level. Later in the week the offer was gone and MX plus $150/mt was used as a reference for the minimum price at which PX would be offered. Considering MX at 245 cents/gal, this would put the break-even offer at $892/mt.
