C-MACC Sunday Thematic & Weekly Recap 85
If you think tight natural gas markets are worrying – just wait!
- Disruptive inflation appears likely across many product chains later this decade as ESG initiatives and related pressure constrain spending while demand grows.
- Inflation in natural gas, some natural gas liquids, and several metals is most visible today. More commodities will face inflation if investments do not pick up.
- Plastic is a clear example, as demand growth would need to fall by 65% versus history for needs to be met by increased recycled products and renewables.
- Other chemicals and fuels will also be in short supply, causing steep price rises unless further investment is allowed – even if new rules apply to the investments
- Otherwise, we talk about near-term surpluses, which should be more evident soon and depress prices in 2022, creating another constraint to investment.
Last week we discussed 30 Chemicals and related products and 96 Companies.
