MOSCOW – MEGlobal, the world leader in the production of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and diethylene glycol (DG), nominated the MEG July contract price for Asia at USD710 per tonne, which corresponds to the level of the current month, a source in the company told ICIS .

The price was named on the terms of delivery CFR Asia.

It is expected that the decline in production at several factories in Asia will lead to a decrease in the material supply on the market, starting in June.

However, lower demand for polyester in the downstream polyester market, lowering oil quotes and market uncertainty due to the US-China trade war continue to put pressure on market sentiment. MEGlobal price Monoethyleneglycol MEG
