Europe Styrene

摘要

Northwest European styrene monomer barges loading 5-30 days forward were assessed at $850/mt FOB ARA, stable on the day but down $14.50/mt on the week. Trade activity was seen thin with few trades reported. The weakness was driven in part by increased supply expectations, weighed down by a potential for increased production as Ellba’s POSM-2 unit in Moerdijk, in the Netherlands, remains on schedule to restart as planned between December and January.
