European xylene prices pressured by fall in US, Asian prices: sources

摘要

London — European mixed xylene prices were under downward pressure from the sharp correction in Asian and US mixed xylenes prices. Market sources said European isomer-mixed xylenes were trading at $1,290/mt FOB ARA, down $10 from Platts’ March 15 assessment. Platts assesses European isomer MX prices on Fridays. Some Northwest Europe trader sources said that buying interest in Europe would not be supported even at $1,270/mt FOB ARA.
