Iran PVC in USD/ton

PVC (often suspension grades such as S65 / S70) is a core Iranian export polymer. International buyers typically negotiate in USD per tonne, while local sources publish in rials — so FX method and venue (IME vs OTC) both move the number you use in a call.

Building a usable PVC quote

  1. Identify the grade and producer family you actually trade.
  2. Pull the latest IME session figure when available.
  3. Pull a same-window OTC offer for the same grade family.
  4. Convert both to USD/t at market IRR (not CBI official).
  5. Read the spread; check 2–4 weeks of history for one-off spikes.

IME vs OTC for PVC

Exchange prints set a published reference after the report. OTC can diverge on logistics, cash terms, and day-to-day liquidity. ICPI puts both in one screen so you do not rebuild the comparison from Persian PDFs and chat forwards each morning.
