SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes discontinuation of daily styrene balance of month

Effective September 1, Platts proposes to discontinue its daily US styrene balance of the month assessment due to changes in market dynamics.

The balance of the month assessment is not reflective of trade in the market and will be replaced by an M1 and M2 assessment.

This assessment is listed under the following codes in the Platts price database: AAPDZ00 -- Styrene bal mo, AAPDZ03 -- Styrene FOB USG BalMo cts/lb MAvg, AAPDZ04 -- Styrene FOB USG BalMo cts/lb WAvg.

These assessments are also published in the Platts Petrochemical Alert on page 339 and page 234.

Please send any additional feedback or questions to petchems@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com by June 30.
