  The 5,000-tonne lot was sold early this week to a trader at a premium of $5/tonne (€4/tonne) to market quotes FOB (free on board), they said.
  The cargo offered is of 95% purity, with sulphur content of 50ppm (parts per million), water content of 1,000ppm and methanol content of 0.5wt% (weight percentage), they said.
  “Premiums are edging down. This shows the market is not as strong as it looks,” a Singapore-based trader said.
  In end-September, FPCC sold 10,000 tonnes of MTBE for October loading at premiums in the mid- to high-single-digit levels.
