Asian acrylonitrile prices again gained US$20 a ton CFR Far East Asia in the third week of March while Southeast Asia was up US$70 a ton on the week. In China, offers for offshore cargoes were steady while Indian ACN prices gained US$30 a ton on the week.

Acrylonitrile prices continued to rise for the seventh week in succession in Asian markets due to tightness in supply on turnarounds and lack of feedstock. In China, spot prices held stable while discussions lifted despite sellers offering flat on insipid trades.
