What This Indicator Measures

Daily FOB Mediterranean naphtha cargo assessment on an East Med basis, in USD/mt.

Naphtha: A physical price for naphtha, a light distillate used as petrochemical steam-cracker feedstock and gasoline blendstock. Regional series differ by delivery term and unit (USD/bbl in Singapore, USD/mt in Europe and Japan).

What the source does not state for this series

The source table names this series as “Naphtha” and does not print a fuller specification; none is assumed here.

Specification · product family only

Open-specification naphtha; paraffin content and density follow the source assessment and are not reproduced here.

Basis: FOB Med, East Med basis

East Med basis: the source specifies the eastern Mediterranean as the loading reference for this cargo quote.
FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
The Mediterranean basis covers cargo loadings (FOB Med, typically Italian ports) or deliveries (CIF Med) within the Mediterranean basin.

Unit: USD/mt

USD/bbl values (Singapore, Arab Gulf, Fujairah) and USD/mt values (Europe, Japan naphtha) cannot be compared without a product-specific density conversion; the site does not convert them.
Published assessments are a low–high range with a midpoint; charts and monthly statistics use the midpoint only.

What This FOB Med, East Med basis Price Represents

What it is not suitable for

Converting between USD/bbl and USD/mt without a density assumption.

Compare With

Each comparison states why the series are related and whether the latest values can be subtracted directly (same unit, currency and assessment date). Where they cannot, the values are shown side by side without a difference.

Series	Why compare	Latest	Difference (this − other)
Naphtha — Mediterranean CIF CIF Med · USD/mt · daily	Same naphtha in the same region on CIF Med instead of FOB Med terms; the gap contains freight/insurance or barge-vs-cargo logistics, not quality. Different delivery terms (FOB vs CIF); the gap includes freight, insurance or handling and is not a trading margin.	791.25 4 Sep 2026	-19.00
Naphtha — Northwest Europe CIF NWE / ARA basis · USD/mt · daily	CIF NWE naphtha: the Northwest European delivered value in the same unit. Different delivery terms (FOB vs CIF); the gap includes freight, insurance or handling and is not a trading margin.	804.00 4 Sep 2026	-31.75
