Listen: For global petrochemicals, what went up is coming down…down…

The global petrochemical industry is grappling with the aftermath of COVID-fueled demand. The supply squeeze in 2020 and 2021 that led to soaring prices has been doused by economic uncertainty and oversupply, leaving producers with hard decisions about output and buyers with lots of options.

S&P Global Commodity Insights' global polymer lead Kristen Hays speaks with Chemical Week editors Rob Westervelt and Clay Boswell to break down how the markets got here and what's coming up. Don't miss them at World Petrochemical Conference(opens in a new tab) in Houston next week as well.
