SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts discontinues weekly US MX contract assessment Sep 1

Effective September 1, Platts will discontinue its weekly US mixed xylenes contract assessment due to changes in market dynamics. A market-wide contract settlement is no longer openly available and as such the market no longer references or uses the published settlement. Platts last published a weekly US mixed xylene contract assessment in January 2015 when a settlement was last disclosed by the parties involved and verified as per Platts methodology.

This assessment is listed under the following code in the Platts price database: Mixed Xylene USG CP PHBHT03. The assessment also is published in the Platts Petrochemical Alert on page 329 and page 234.
