  • PVC international prices witnessed a continued decline in the second quarter
  • Prices softened on the back of a hazy economic outlook, geopolitical turbulence, high volatility in international prices, slower than expected recovery in China, and an oversupply situation in India.
  • Ethylene prices decreased during the quarter due to limited downstream demand, volatility in oil prices, and oversupply across most regions.
  • Ethylene prices will remain impacted by crude oil prices and OPEC+ decisions
  • PVC prices are expected to recover to healthy levels once the challenging global geopolitical climate improves and recessionary concerns subside
