United States Paraxylene

摘要

US spot paraxylene rose $5/mt week on week to a Friday assessment of $775/mt FOB USG, tracking gains in Asia. That region remained the best outlet for US product, sources said. Asian PX pricing gained $22/mt for the period, with assessments at $830/mt FOB Korea and $852/mt CFR Taiwan/China on Friday. US domestic demand was expected to improve in March as downstream capacity would be fully back online, sources said, adding that derivative PTA production is expected to be 100% by late March.
