PX supply tightens

摘要

Shutdowns and tight supply cause PX prices to rise, with one deal closing at us830. Styrene prices also rise on Nippon Steel Chemical's plant glitches. Tension in the market as prices jumped on the back of several scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns and further tightening of already snug supplies due to the startup of new and expanded purified terephthalic acid plants (see p28).
