Polymer Demand and Supply

  • This week, PVC prices in Asia showed mixed trends. The US Federal Reserve is expected to keep lowering interest rates, which could make borrowing cheaper and boost demand for commodities like crude oil.
  • Additionally, rising crude oil prices are likely due to increasing tensions in the Middle East, which might disrupt oil supplies, and the expected increase in hurricane activity in the U.S. Gulf Coast. polymerbanner.png
