Hi Pon, I just wanted to ask if you had any good website resources to track the price fluctuations of Bitumen.
Thanks
Xavi
Pon
domestic asphalt prices are given monthly by the Bureau of Trade and Economic Indices in Thailand. The two you have to look for with TASCO are AC – 60/70 and AE CSS-1. In the US if you google asphalt/bitumen prices you’ll see that they are reported daily.
Xavi
Thank you Pon.
Kind regards
