Global Chemical Update – Take Me Away

Global Chemical Update – Take Me Away

Key Points:

  • US commodity chemical price premiums remain pronounced relative to Asia across most polymer markets, and we argue that USGC Tropical Storm Nicholas and lingering global logistical issues suggest support through 3Q21.
  • Global commodity value shifts were mixed WoW. We discuss the drop in US spot ethylene but its rise in Asia, while US Natural gas/NGLs held strong.   
  • Other global commodity trends flagged in this report comprise monomer, polymer, and feedstock indicators relevant to gauging sector profitability.
