New market we are trying to develop in Benzene swaps - possibly hedging with 
financial naphtha and physical toluene.

Dear All,

Attached is the spreadsheet "BenzeneCurves.xls" (also available in 
S:\RESEARCH\GLOBALPRODUCTS) that will hopefully allow you to derive a 
mid-curve for Benzene based upon our existing naphtha curve produced by 
Tracy.  The previous hedge ratio analysis is still part of the new 
spreadsheet.

For clarity a graph of the curve based on 1996 through 2000 data is depicted 
below:



I can also provide confidence bands on the regression model, if this can 
assist in deciding the bid-offer spread for the forward curve, but this is 
slightly more involved - let me know you'd like this.

Regards,

Anjam
