December IPEX down 6% on sharp price drops in northeast Asia, US

The ICIS Petrochemical Index (IPEX) dropped by 6.2% month on month in December, tracking price declines across the main petrochemical and plastic global markets, not least in northeast Asia and the US. 

Northeast Asia posted the largest decline, with some commodities such as butadiene falling by up to 17% month on month. Every petrochemical in the region fell in December. 

US Gulf values also went down substantially, although some exceptions such as paraxylene and benzene posted a small rise. Similarly to northeast Asia, butadiene experienced the sharpest fall, of up to 19%. 

Northwest Europe posted the softest decrease, falling by only 1.6% month on month. The decline was driven by products like butadiene and toluene, with drops of up to 21% in December. Polystyrene posted the largest rise, moving up 4.3%. 

The Global IPEX index has risen by 20% year on year. 

The monthly IPEX indices provide a snapshot of the petrochemicals and plastics markets in the three major producing and consuming regions, as well as globally.
