Editorial Note:
In last few days, moderate economic data from USA and European region, provided momentum to oil prices. PX followed the stream and went up along with energy prices. It supported PTA market fundamentals as well. Rest of the products in polyester value chain received support, due to moderate demand from downstream market.
