Americas: Southern rolls January USG methanol CP at $1.29/gal to Dec

Write: Erene [2011-05-20]
Methanol distributor Southern Chemical Corporation (SCC) Monday rolled over its January contract price at $1.29/gal FOB US Gulf, company sources said.

After discounts and rebates of 9%, the January contract price would be close to 117.39 cents/gallon.

Southern distributes in the US market the methanol produced by Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Limited.

Last week, Canadian methanol producer Methanex nominated its January CP at 135 cents/gallon FOB USG ($449/mt), 3 cents below the December contract.

Both nominations were above market expectations of 120 cents/gallon based on the fact that no major turnarounds or unplanned outages have been reported.
