PVC international prices saw an uptick in August before falling by the end of the third quarter
Prices impacted by early signs of restocking in India and positive sentiments on back of new Chinese infrastructure development policies in anticipation of demand increase. Overall market cooled off on lackluster performance from China & India.
Ethylene followed a similar uptick in the beginning of the quarter then weakened amid higher spot availability from Asia and North America.
Ethylene prices will remain impacted by crude oil prices and OPEC+ decisions
PVC prices are expected to be stable to soft, given the supply surplus and weak demand amid global economic slowdown.
