????Mideast chemicals supply tight amid US outages, strong China demand

????Supply tightness prevails in the Middle East chemicals markets and it remains a challenge to scour the region for cargoes amid winter storm-related outages in the US and strong demand coming from China.

????The ramifications are felt keenly in the polymer markets.

????For both polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), selling sentiment is strong on expectations that demand from the US and Latin American buyers will surge, which would affect the Middle East’s allocations to other regions.

????Market sentiment has firmed on expectations of tighter supply conditions emerging in March as strong deep-sea demand on account of US outages coincides with pre-fasting month restocking taking place within the Middle East.

????The fasting month of begins on 12 April.

????Sellers in the Middle East are also optimistic on improved uptake from China after the country’s week-long Lunar New Year holiday on 11-17 February.

????"I see prices continue to skyrocket and in China, things are more bullish than expected," said ICIS senior consultant Fabrizio Galie.

????Seasonal shutdowns of manufacturing plants in China had been shorter compared with the previous years, with some production not interrupted, as people scaled back on travels during the Lunar New Year holiday amid the pandemic.

????Chinese downstream exports of plastic products are being pushed by demand in the west, said Galie, citing that supply was already very tight in Europe and global market conditions were aggravated by the US outages.

????"Presumably there will be much demand for Middle Eastern cargoes. Then moving to April, we’ll have the Ramadan and normally business slows, volumes could pile up at ports even with high demand abroad," Galié opined.

????The situation could last until June, he said.
