English translation:PET (polyethylene terephthalate) index
Explanation:
Just a thought, but as this is used in packaging products, could affect prices.

One such instrument is known as a "fixed-price swap," a contract that establishes a price for a specific material in a specific quantity over a certain period of time. For example, Kraft may contract with Koch for 50,000 lb of polyethylene terephthalate per month at 50¢/lb for one year. Also part of the contract is the identification of a PET price-tracking index like CMAI or Chemical Data, both of Houston. Depending on the price that index reports at the prearranged settlement dates (typically quarterly for Kraft), Koch reimburses Kraft if PET prices are tracking above 50¢/lb. If the reported price dips below 50¢/lb, Kraft pays Koch the difference.

neutral  Josephine79: For those of us still in the dark could you explain what this index is, as I can find no reference to it, and believe me, I've looked.

  -> I don't know what PET means in this context.
neutral  Charlie Bavington: I have a sneaky suspicion that canaria doesn't know either which is probably why the question was asked, which makes your answer of extremely limited use indeed :-)
