LONDON (ICIS news)--A third European fourth-quarter methyl methacrylate (MMA) acetone contract settlement has been agreed €10/tonne ($14/tonne) up from the third quarter, a buyer said on Thursday.
The settlement at €930/tonne FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest
It follows two other confirmed fourth-quarter acetone agreements at €930/tonne FD NWE.
Once again, INEOS Phenol’s recent force majeure announcement was key in the buyer’s decision to accept the €10/tonne increase, having initially targeted a rollover.
The buyer expected the market to become more balanced during November and into early December as a result of this declaration of force majeure.
Another fourth-quarter agreement also at €930/tonne FD NWE has been reported by a buyer, but sell side confirmation remains outstanding.
