New USGC polymer codes and description changes

Commodity: Petrochemicals Region: Americas

The following codes were created in dispatch category HP.

They represent weekly US domestic polymer spot prices delivered by railcar into the US Gulf Coast and their monthly averages.

All prices are measured in $/Mt and can be converted into US Cts/Lb by dividing by 22.046.

These new prices will be published Wednesdays on PCA page 623, TX page 838 and in Platts Polymerscan.

Launch date is scheduled for April 7, 2010.
