Changing volume standard in NWE PX spot assessments

Platts invites industry feedback on its proposal to change the European paraxylene assessment volume standard to 3,000-5,000 mt.

Recent industry feedback suggests this volume to be the prevailing standard in spot transactions in Europe.

Platts currently reflects spot transactions of 1,000 mt for loading FOB Rotterdam.
