Prices in the $3-trillion-plus global petrochemicals market fell 2% to $1,323 per metric ton (/mt) in November, according to the just-released monthly average of the Platts Global Petrochemical Index (PGPI), a benchmark basket of seven widely used petrochemicals. This follows a drop of less than 1% in October to an average price of $1,351/mt.
However, on a year-over-year basis, petrochemical prices were up 14% from the November 2011 average price of $1,162/mt, according to data published by Platts, a leading global energy, petrochemicals and metals information provider and a top source of benchmark price references.
Petrochemicals are used to make plastic, rubber, nylon, and other consumer products, and are utilized in manufacturing, construction, pharmaceuticals, aviation, electronics, and nearly every commercial industry.
"November petrochemical prices moved almost lock step with global oil prices," says Jim Foster, Platts senior editor of petrochemical analytics. "Crude oil was dominating many other petrochemical-specific supply and demand factors during the month."
The average price of Dated Brent crude oil in November was $109.25 per barrel (/b), marking a 2% drop from the October average of $111.75/b. The Platts Global Naphtha Index slipped by the same percentage in November to $628/mt from the October level of $639.75.
In particular, naphtha weighed on the November prices of ethylene, used in textiles and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is widely used in construction for window frames, water pipes, garden furniture and packaging. The Platts Global Ethylene Index fell 7% to $1,252/mt in November, the largest drop of the seven PGPI components. Low-density polyethylene, which is a polymer produced from ethylene, fell 4% in November to $1,424/mt. Polypropylene, another polymer component in the PGPI, fell 2% to $1,435/mt in November. Polypropylene is used in reusable containers and automotive components, electric equipment, ropes, carpets and textiles.
Aromatic petrochemical prices were mostly higher in November, with the largest increase in the global benzene market. Benzene is the key ingredient to styrene, used in packaging, various plastics, nylon and other textiles. The benzene index climbed 5% on tight supply conditions to an average $1,398/mt in November, up from $1,331/mt in October.
"For the second straight month it has been benzene prices, as a share of the overall PGPI, which have been able to offset the lion's share of the losses in the olefins and polyolefins," Foster says. "There continues to be less benzene available globally due to refiners' shift from naphtha to ethane in steam crackers. This is keeping upward pressure on benzene prices."
Also higher in November were global prices of paraxylene (PX), used in fibers and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for plastic bottles. The Platts PX index rose less than one percent to an average of $1,511/mt, versus the October level of $1,507/mt. Toluene, a petrochemical that can be used for gasoline blending or can be converted into benzene and paraxylene, averaged $1,275/mt in November, down 1% from the October average of $1,281/mt.
Petrochemical prices largely moved opposite to the direction of most global equity markets during November. The Nikkei 225 climbed 6% during November and the London Stock Exchange Index (FTSE) rose 1.5%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 0.5% during November.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Regional fishery managers are considering the rare step of closing recreational and commercial salmon fishing off the coast of Washington and northern Oregon this summer due to a low number of returning coho salmon.
Butch Smith, owner of Coho Charters in Ilwaco, Washington, said a no-fishing option would be devastating to coastal communities, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
"Fishing is our lifeblood," he said. "Fishing is our Boeing and our Microsoft."
The Pacific Fishery Management Council is eyeing the shutdown as one of three alternatives as it sets fishing seasons off the Pacific coast. Two other options released Monday would permit some salmon fishing.
The last time salmon fishing was closed in the waters was 1994. It was severely curtailed in 2008.
The current proposal would close recreational and commercial non-tribal ocean fishing for chinook and coho salmon north of Cape Falcon, near Manzanita, Oregon.
The council will make its decision at its April meeting in Vancouver, Washington, and forward its recommendation to a federal agency for final approval before May 1.
"We know that severely limiting opportunities will hurt many families and communities that depend on these fisheries," Jim Unsworth, director of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said in a statement. "But conserving wild salmon is our top priority."
The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, which represents treaty tribes in western Washington, is asking the council to consider closing all coho fishing in the ocean this year due to expected low runs.
"I hope it doesn't come to that, but we must consider it as an option," Lorraine Loomis, the commission's chair, said in a statement.
Chuck Custer, who operates a charter boat, told The News Tribune that a closure would affect about 40 charter boats operating out of Westport, Washington.
"When the salmon season is going, the town is going full tilt. (A closure) affects everybody, not just the charter boats. The restaurants and hotels need the fishermen," he said.
A public hearing on the three coastal salmon fishing alternatives is scheduled for March 28 in Westport.
State fish and wildlife officials say forecasters expect 380,000 Columbia River hatchery coho to return to the Washington coast. That's about half of last year's forecast.
Only 242,000 coho actually returned last year to the Columbia River. Warmer ocean temperatures contributed to last year's lower than expected return.

Leishmaniasis Shyam Sundar ++ Definition ++ Encompassing a complex group of disorders, leishmaniasis is caused by unicellular eukaryotic obligatory intracellular protozoa of the genus Leishmania and primarily affects the host's reticuloendothelial system. Leishmania species produce widely varying clinical syndromes ranging from self-healing cutaneous ulcers to fatal visceral disease. These syndromes fall into three broad categories: visceral leishmaniasis (VL), cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). ++ Etiology and Life Cycle ++ Leishmaniasis is caused by ∼20 species of the genus Leishmania in the order Kinetoplastida and the family Trypanosomatidae (Table 212-1). Several clinically important species are of the subspecies Viannia. The organisms are transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies of the genus Phlebotomus in the "Old World" (Asia, Africa, and Europe) and the genus Lutzomyia in the "New World" (the Americas). Transmission may be anthroponotic (i.e., the vector transmits the infection from infected humans to healthy humans) or zoonotic (i.e., the vector transmits the infection from an animal reservoir to humans). Human-to-human transmission via shared infected needles has been documented in IV drug users in the Mediterranean region. In utero transmission to the fetus occurs rarely. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 212-1 Geographic Distribution and Characteristic Epidemiology of Leishmaniases View Large | Favorite Table | Download (.pdf)Table 212-1 Geographic Distribution and Characteristic Epidemiology of LeishmaniasesOrganism, Endemic RegionClinical SyndromeSpeciesVectorReservoirTransmissionSettingL. donovani ComplexSouth AsiaVL, PKDLL. donovaniPhlebotomus argentipesHumansAnthroponoticRural, domesticSudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, UgandaVL, PKDLL. donovaniP. orientalis, P. martiniHumans, rodents in Sudan, caninesAnthroponotic, occasionally zoonoticMajority peridomestic, occasionally sylvaticMediterranean basin, Middle East, Central Asia, ChinaVL, CLL. infantumP. perniciosus, P. ariasiDogs, foxes, jackalsZoonoticDomestic, peridomesticMiddle East, Saudi Arabia, YemenVLL. donovaniP. perniciosus, P. ariasiDogs, foxes, jackalsZoonoticDomestic, peridomesticCentral and South AmericaVL, CLL. infantumLutzomyia longipalpisFoxes, dogs, opossumsZoonoticDomestic, peridomestic, periurbanAzerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, UzbekistanVLL. infantumP. turanicusHumans, dogs, foxesAnthroponotic, zoonoticDomesticL. tropicaWestern India to Turkey, parts of North and East AfricaCL, leishmaniasis recidivansL. tropicaP. sergentiHumansAnthroponoticUrban domestic, peridomesticL. majorWestern and Central Asia, North and sub-Saharan AfricaCLL. majorP. papatasi, P. duboscqiNile rats, rodentsZoonoticSylvatic, peridomesticKazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and UzbekistanCLL. majorP. papatasi, P. duboscqiGerbilsZoonoticRuralL. aethiopicaEthiopia, Uganda, KenyaCL, DCLL. aethiopicaP. longipes, P. pediferHyraxesZoonoticSylvatic, peridomesticSubspecies VianniaPeru, EcuadorCL, MLL.
