Ethyl acetate Europe Transcript
ICS reports on ethyl acetate, referred to as Etac, in Europe, the US and Asia.
In Europe the report consists of spot prices for ethyl acetate and prices are quoted in euro per metric tonne on a free delivered northwest European basis.
The standard spot size in Europe is for a parcel that represents a full truck load of 20 to 25 tonnes
The report contains information about spot prices, monthly price-targets posted by producers, agreed business, demand-supply factors including any planned and unplanned production schedules.
It also includes a snapshot of developments for upstream products like ethanol, ethylene and acetic acid.
The European Etac report is generated after conversations with buyers, sellers and traders in the market. We take account of market sentiment as well as deals completed in the week.
Many users rely on the ICIS report in the basis of their contract negotiations, and find it an essential tool in discussions.
