Crack Less, Feed More: Capital Feeds Fertilizer, Midstream, and Specialties as Plastics Starve

February 5, 2026

General Thoughts: Ammonia’s fertilizer-anchored cycle diverges from most chemicals, signaling tight supply and investment incentives, while petrochemicals face surplus-driven signals discouraging growth capital.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Asian petrochemicals face structural oversupply, with pricing, not demand, driving losses, forcing restructuring, cost exits, and portfolio shifts that favor early movers through 2026.

Energy/Upstream:

You Don’t Have to Be a Weather Man: Feedstock Risk Is Blowing Through Chemicals

February 3, 2026

General Thoughts: Natural gas volatility now translates into risk, as export integration, consolidation, and midstream optionality reprice feedstock economics, slow marginal investment, and lift risk premiums.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Propylene prices increasingly reflect operational reliability and feedstock economics, as outages, cracking mix, and integration shape volatility, spreads, and regional competitiveness.

Energy/Upstream:

Slicked Back: Restructuring Clears the Field, Global Alignment Drives the Outlook

January 29, 2026

General Thoughts: Global chemical restructuring optimizes footprints, shrinks effective supply, and embeds optionality, positioning low-cost, low-carbon assets like Dow’s Path2Zero to lift returns in the cycle ahead.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Structural closures and Asian consolidation are curbing chemical supply ahead of demand, improving market balance in 2026 and lifting the odds

Baby It’s Cold Outside: Volatility Trims Inventories; Supports Monomers, Tests Polymers

January 27, 2026

General Thoughts: USGC outages reduce inventories, support monomer prices, and heighten volatility, favoring near-term monomer uplift over polymers ahead of a potentially heavier 1H26 turnaround season.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Short USGC freeze-led outages curb excess monomer inventories, amplify near-term volatility, and provide pricing support for base chemicals in 1H26 despite global

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.
