ODM: Rising Gas and Coal, Firmer Olefins Prices
Description
The Olefins Derivatives Monitor (ODM) delivers a streamlined, month by month readout of developments across the olefins and derivatives value chain. By tracking shifts in feedstock costs, product pricing, margins, trade route economics, and operational activity, each issue surfaces the fundamentals driving competitiveness across ethylene, propylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, and MEG.
This issue examines how strengthening gas and coal markets supported firmer olefins pricing while downstream margins remained mixed across regions.
Crude softened while gas and coal rose; naphtha and propane were mixed. Ethylene and PE prices increased, while propylene, PP and MEG showed mixed margins across regions.
