Ethylene: Asia

摘要

Asian ethylene continued to edge up Friday due to the lack of spot availability and uncertainty in supply. Ethylene was assessed at $1,335/mt CFR Northeast Asia, up $4/mt day on day and $45/mt week on week; and $1,380/mt CFR Southeast Asia, up $1/mt day on day. Discussions were thin on Friday due to the lack of immediate buying or selling interest. On one hand, buyers were not in a hurry to seek cargoes due to the weak margins for most downstream derivatives.
