The negotiations on the December contract price of MEG have not yet gained full force, but prices are expected to decline on the contract market.

The spot quotes of MEG have not yet reached the bottom and continue to decline significantly against the background of the ongoing downtrend in the Asian market of MEG.

Despite the desire to preserve a small amount of material stocks, there is a concern in the downstream polyethylene terephthalate (PET) market about the consumption of MEG after the announcement of force majeure at the PET plant Indorama Ventures in the Netherlands this week.

This circumstance is likely to increase the MEG offer in December and may put additional pressure on the spot market. Monoethylene glycol MEG prices Europe

The spot prices of MEG in Europe this week decreased in the lower price range of EUR35 per tonne, and in the upper level it was EUR25 per tonne compared to last week, which led to a decrease in the price range to EUR685-710 per tonne, CIF NWE (North -Western Europe).

MEG along with terephthalic acid (TFA) is one of the main components for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

According to the ICIS-MRC Price Review , the fall in prices on the world markets for raw materials and PET granules continues to push prices down on the Russian market.

The cost of December PET volumes from Russian producers for contract and spot buyers is aggressively decreasing. Monoethylene glycol MEG prices Europe
