General Thoughts: Consumer prices are rising globally, but pricing-power gaps are widening, benefiting lower-inflation consumers and manufacturers with advantaged feedstocks or stronger pricing leverage.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Cost inflation is exposing pricing power gaps across downstream chemicals, with weak demand delaying recovery and supply-tight producers defending spreads more quickly.

Energy/Upstream: Regional

Purple Gas: Gasoline Gets The Headlines, But Diesel Sends The Bill

June 9, 2026

General Thoughts: Broad fuel inflation keeps pressure visible at the pump, but diesel’s premium sends the harder cost hit toward farms, freight, and delivered-product markets.

Supply Chain/Commodities: China’s self-sufficiency push is turning volume growth into local-share pressure and tougher global trade, testing whether BASF’s Zhanjiang can earn through lower China-linked

Push It: Supply Risk Keeps Prices Moving, but Demand Sets the Ceiling

June 4, 2026

General Thoughts: Supply risk is keeping many chemical chains biased upward, with MDI markets showing how outage timing and system availability can sustain hikes even as input signals moderate.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Benzene prices have eased from their 1H26 highs, but production and feedstock cost concerns will likely keep non-integrated buyers

Rock You Like a Hurricane: Lean Inventories Leave Chemical Buyers Exposed Before Hormuz Clears

June 2, 2026

General Thoughts: Quiet hurricane forecasts can punish chemical buyers running lean inventories if adverse weather on the US Gulf Coast meets unresolved Middle East disruption and strained overseas production.

Supply Chain/Commodities: Global ammonia price increases have paused, but ex-US gas costs, logistics, and restocking risk mean nitrogen markets are unlikely

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.
