MEG spot prices in Asia up 7.2% amid rising oil prices
MOSCOW – Spot prices of monoethylene glycol (MEG) in Asia rose by 7.2% on September 16 to USD 596-611 per tonne, CFR CMP amid sharply rising oil prices and limited supplies, ICIS reports citing market participants .MEG Polyethylene Terephthalate MEGlobal
Whereas the spot prices of MEG on September 12 were at the level of USD560-566 per tonne, after which the Chinese market closed for a three-day Mid-Autumn Festival, which is widely celebrated in China and Vietnam.
The increase in crude oil prices caused by drone attacks on Saudi Aramco factories put upward pressure on the MEG market and raised concerns about a possible reduction in MEG supplies. Sellers withdrew the bids and took a wait and see attitude, which led to limited discussions of deals throughout the day.
According to ICIS, Saudi Arabia has a total production capacity of MEG capacity of 6.3 million tons per year, which is about 70% of the total MEG capacity in the Middle East.
Earlier it was reported that the total reserves of monoethylene glycol (MEG) in eastern China decreased last week by 9.3% compared with a week ago amid a decrease in the number of arriving consignments of imported material to the country’s ports and an increase in its level of discharge. Thus, this indicator amounted to approximately 782 thousand tons this week against 862 thousand tons a week earlier.
