September In The Rain – PVC Market Set To Tighten, US Price Premiums Unlikely To Notably Fall Until 4Q

Key Points:

  • US PVC market tightness should persist near term following a few notable Ida-linked production issues in Louisiana. We foresee US premium values not facing downward pressure until 4Q amid seasonal pressure and more supply.    
  • We highlight pertinent chemical sector corporate updates (e.g., Covestro, Westlake, Sadara, DSM, Kemira, Tianyi Lithium, Dow & other items).
  • We highlight our latest ESG weekly research and numerous other ESG items worth note, ranging from offshore CCS projects to technology updates.
  • We note numerous other pertinent chemical sector items in this report.
