HIGHLIGHTS | |
Polyester raw material and product pricing will remain strong in April given their upward momentum in March. Ethylene spot will continue to remain low but firm on expectations of improving supply, lower feedstock costs and higher co-product credits. Market expect supply to lengthen in April as production issues stay resolved at two US Gulf crackers and a Kentucky cracker restarts after an expansion project. For Paraxylene, supply is set to tighten going into Q2 and this may be delaying the settlement. Overall the markets will be stable as there are no reported supply issues. |
