Platts proposes new FOB China MMA price assessment effective Aug 4
Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, is proposing to launch a new weekly FOB China methyl methacrylate (MMA) assessment, effective Aug. 4.
The proposed assessment would complement Platts' existing coverage of global MMA markets and reflect China's increasing export presence in the region.
The new assessment would reflect the following parameters and terms:
Basis: FOB China
Location ports: Zhangjiagang and Jiangyin
Cargo size: Minimum 1,000-2,000 mt
Laycan: Loading 15-30 days forward from the day of publication
UoM: US dollar/mt
Credit terms: L/C 30 days
Specifications: Monomer content of 99.8% or more
The assessment will be published every Tuesday.
Pricing information different from the standard specifications listed may be normalized to the standard specifications for assessment purposes.
The new assessment would be published in Polymerscan, Asian Petrochemicalscan, PCA190, PCA460, Platts database, and on S&P Global Energy Core.
Simultaneously, Platts also proposes to discontinue its existing CFR China daily marker price effective Sept. 30. The proposal note for the discontinuation can be found here:
