Split Decision: One Energy Shock, Two Very Different Paths to Cost Relief

August 6, 2026

General Thoughts: Recent crude relief is narrowing oil-linked costs faster than gas-linked economics, preserving North America’s ammonia and methanol advantage as energy markets normalize unevenly.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Ammonia pricing should remain supported as disruptions constrain deliverable supply and selective investment increases the market’s dependence on existing low-cost production.

Energy/Upstream: Middle

House Divided: Infrastructure Builds as Housing Stays Rate-Bound

August 4, 2026

General Thoughts: Mortgage rates at a 2026 high are widening earnings gaps across construction markets, favoring businesses tied to funded infrastructure over those awaiting a residential recovery.

Supply Chain/Commodities: PVC integration strengthens earnings when downstream outlets absorb resin without sacrificing margins, often making product and end-market mix as important as

The Margin Has to Land Somewhere: US Ammonia Captures the Upside, Ethanol Absorbs the Cost

July 30, 2026

General Thoughts: Volatility is shifting margins across value chains, with US ammonia benefiting from constrained supply and firmer corn as ethanol producers and downstream buyers face weaker cost recovery.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Methanol should remain volatile as Gulf disruptions limit supply and high ex-US natural gas costs pressure production, but derivative

Heat Check: Weak Demand Meets the Rising Cost of Keeping Supply Moving

July 28, 2026

General Thoughts: Extreme heat, low Rhine levels, and elevated feedstock costs are keeping chemical prices firm, but weak customer economics are limiting producers’ ability to recover those costs.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Propylene remains firm despite weak downstream pricing power, as outages and trade constraints offset easing crude costs and keep regional

Polymer Price Expectation Service

– Independent, Forward-Looking Insight on Monthly Polymer Price Expectations

C-MACC’s new monthly service provides directional guidance on expected contract reference prices for key U.S. polymer chains: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Built on deep industry experience and robust supply-demand analysis, the report offers a price expectation range and directional view—not post-settlement confirmation.

This service was developed in response to growing industry demand for greater transparency, competition, and credibility in price discovery. It combines fundamentals, trade flows, cost structures, and market sentiment to deliver a high-value alternative to traditional pricing services. Each report also includes variance analysis, comparing prior expectations to final settlements.
