Platts to launch weekly caustic soda domestic China ex-works assessment in dry mt

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will launch a weekly caustic soda domestic China ex-works price assessment in dry metric ton (dmt), effective Feb. 3.

The new assessment will be derived from Platts' existing weekly caustic soda domestic China ex-works assessment in liquid mt (lmt). Price indications for 32% caustic soda in lmt will be converted to dmt using the formula dmt = lmt/0.32.

The assessment will be published on Tuesday in Solventswire and on Platts Connect.

The assessment will reflect the values as of 4:30 pm Singapore time on Tuesday and will follow the Singapore publishing schedule. When a Singapore public holiday falls on the planned publishing day, the assessment will be published the day before the public holiday.
