ICIS Report Forecasts Sharp Decline in Benzene Contract Price

NEW YORK and LONDON, October 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

ICIS has released a new monthly European Benzene price forecast report, analyzing the demand, supply and price trends in European import and export markets, providing crucial price insights.

The European benzene market continues to see sharp fluctuations in pricing, not all of which are related to fluctuating energy costs, but rather benzene supply and demand. Price volatility is ever-present and inventory control is a must.

Report author Rob Peacock of ICIS Consulting said: "This new report will be of interest to a variety of companies, but especially those that are part of the various downstream benzene derivatives chains including the polystyrene, polyamide, polyurethane and polycarbonate markets.

This report will help the reader to see where benzene prices are heading and gain insight into feedstock prices. It will offer further independent insight into the rapidly moving benzene market and what trends are affecting the short and long term supply and demand for benzene and what is driving price movements."
