Asian styrene assessment clarification

Due to a rounding issue, the marker assessment of styrene assessments (FOB Korea and CFR China) historically appear differently on PCA542 and PCA215.

For example on April 26, the CFR China marker assessment for styrene appears as $1,443.50-1,444.50/mt on PCA215. Meanwhile, the CFR China marker ssessment for styrene was rounded up to $1,444-1,445/mt on PCA542.

The more accurate price is on PCA215. This issue has now been resolved, and styrene prices on PCA215 should match PCA542 going forward. All databases remain correct.
