spikes on supply
tightness, bullishness
Houston (Platts)--1 Mar 2016 945 am EST/1445
GMT
Asian styrene supply tightness has helped open
an arbitrage from the US, in turn causing global
styrene prices to bounce off multi-year lows in a
little over a month, sources said.
Asian styrene monomer rose $17.50/mt from
Friday to $1,021.50/mt FOB Korea and
$1,048.50/mt CFR China on Monday, supported
by a bullish domestic China SM market.
CFR China SM was assessed at its highest price
since it was $1,076.50/mt on August 17, 2015,
Platts data shows.
The CFR China SM marker has rebounded quickly
-- up 18.68% from its lowest point so far this year
of $883.50/mt CFR China on January 21, Platts
data showed.
