2026 Week 32 Price Commentary
As previously reported, the volatile geopolitical situation in the Middle East last week was the biggest external variable, with oil prices directly determining the cost center of butadiene. As geopolitical tensions ease and risk premiums diminish, the industry chain faces downward pressure; conversely, renewed geopolitical tensions could lead to a surge in valuations. Overall, the average price of butadiene rose by approximately 200, corresponding to a slight increase in the price of synthetic rubber.
