The ICIS Para/Ortho-Xylenes Report is published weekly in Asia and Europe and monthly in the US
- In Asia, there is both a daily and a weekly report for paraxylene (PX) with assessments for the CFR Taiwan and China main port (CMP) price. The report also includes the monthly Asia contract price (ACP) as well as the China domestic delivered quote. For orthoxylene (OX), FOB and CFR NE Asia prices are quoted and CFR India and SE Asia are also provided
- In Europe, the PX and OX report shows a monthly contract price for both markets on a FD NWE basis as well as weekly spot quotations on a FOB Rotterdam basis
- In the US, PX and OX have two quotes each; one for monthly contracts on a delivered basis and one for spot on a FOB export basis
- ICIS engages with a wide cross-section of market players: producers, traders and consumers in order to eliminate bias and to ensure accurate price assessments that provide useful benchmarks used within the industry
