ASIAN DEMAND FOR PETROCHEMICALS FADES, PRICES PLUNGE

Futures World News - January 16, 1998 07:08

Tokyo-Jan. 16-FWN--PETROCHEMICAL PRODUCT PRICES ARE collapsing across Asia as overstocked South Korean producers dump inventories against a backdrop of rapidly eroding downstream demand due to financial crises and economic turmoil throughout the region.

The Asian spot price for propylene is currently US$330- $360 per metric ton (including freight and insurance), down US$20 since the end of 1997 and US$70 below last summer when the downward trend emerged.

Ethylene now runs US$470-$485 per ton, about US$60 (11%) less than last month.
