The importance of spot trading
The pricing of primary products and PE and PP granules in open trade in Europe is becoming increasingly important. Currently there is an information gap in the market, particularly in trading of small and medium-sized quantities of European 1A goods and imported on- and off-spec grades. Traditional quotations at contract prices fail to do justice to the fast pace of the market. In addition, prices for large, contracted producer volumes reflect a different reality and often distorts the market picture, making business decisions more difficult.
