LONDON
(ICIS)–The European ethylene contract price for
October has been fully confirmed at €940/tonne following
direct confirmation from two producers and two consumers,
contract participants said on Thursday.
The €15/tonne increase over September was in line with many players’ expectations, given the increase in naphtha costs over the month, amidst a backdrop of balanced supply and demand.
Two other producers have been named as co-settlers but direct confirmation from both of them remains outstanding.
Meanwhile, discussions continue over next month’s contract price for propylene currently in a stalemate between two camps, one at €730/tonne and the other at €720/tonne.
The contract is agreed on a free delivered (FD) northwest Europe (NWE) basis.
