Paraxylene-Orthoxylene US

The paraxylene (PX) report is a weekly snapshot of the market. There are two price ranges in the ICIS report for US Gulf (USG) PX.   

The first is the contract price that is settled between major buyers and sellers every month.

The other range is the spot price, which is assessed on a free-on-board (FOB) basis and can move around from week to week.

ICIS talks to US suppliers about production issues and we also talk to buyers about trends in demand.

Additionally, traders, exporters and other consumers of this report are consulted to get relevant feedback on what is happening in the market.

The ICIS PX report is a timely and relevant publication for USG information.
