Chinese MEG futures close at five-month high

  • Mercados: Petrochemicals
  • 16/09/19

Chinese ethylene glycol (MEG) futures closed at the upper limit of 4,993 yuan/t today on the main contract EG2001, touching a five-month high.

A potential supply tightness of the fiber intermediate was the main factor behind today's strength. China's Dalian commodity exchange listed MEG futures in December. Oversupply has lead to a continuous fall in the price of the fiber intermediate, which reached a low of Yn4,150/t in early July.

An attack on Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq plant, the world's largest crude processing facility, will curb feedstock supplies to the country's main MEG producers, such as Sabic and PetroRabigh, which will possibly cut MEG output in the near future.

Consumers in northeast Asia indicated that they have received notice from a Saudi supplier that MEG delivery in October will be delayed, although details were unavailable.
