SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to assess Asia PP raffia China domestic prices on a daily basis

S&P Global Platts will change the weekly Asia polypropylene China domestic ex-works raffia assessment from a weekly to a daily assessment, effective February 1, 2018.

This is currently assessed up to the close of the assessment window at 4:30 pm Singapore time (0830 GMT) on Wednesdays.

The date also represents an update from the initial proposal start date of January 2, 2018.

This change in methodology follows feedback, and will capture daily price movements seen in the PP China domestic market. PP China domestic raffia in Yuan/mt is ex-works basis inclusive of the 17% value added tax and 6.5% import duties.
