Chemicals: Monthly Pricing Update

IDBI Capital

Due to geopolitical tensions owing to the Iran-Israel war, the price of crude shot up to $74 even touching $75 briefly. This has a direct effect on prices of chemicals. This reflected in June-25 data, where all the chemicals in our coverage universe exhibited minor uptick in prices, barring Acetone and Acetic Acid. Acetone and Acetic Acid are not linked in the production process; hence the downward trajectory could be due to weakening end-use demand. Acetonitrile prices showed the steepest jump of 8% MoM. This does not bode well for Li-Ion battery manufacturers as it is used as a solvent, particularly in high performance...

Chemicals: Monthly Pricing Update

Chemicals & Petrochemicals

IDBI Capital

All of the chemicals in our tracking universe exhibited a downward pricing trajectory on MoM basis in May 2025, barring Monoethylene Glycol; which exhibited a sharp 9% rise MoM. The price rise for this and the previous couple of months is driven by the uptick in seasonal demand for coolants and anti-freeze products which find use in automobiles. Heavy soda ash registered a price fall of 17% in just a month, owing to fall in demand from flat and container glass end-product segments. We expect prices to continue on the downward trajectory for the near term, post the highs seen in the Covid era. CRDMO companies are witnessing significant tailwinds in terms of growth. Companies...

UK trade body urges continuation of duties on Indian PET plastic imports

Business Standard

The UK's Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has published its initial findings that a countervailing or anti-subsidy measure on the imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from India be maintained for a further five years. The proposal, published in a Statement of Essential Facts' this week, follows a review initiated in July last year which concluded that subsidised imports of PET are likely to recur if the measure was no longer applied and that injury to UK industry would also be likely to recur. The TRA also found that maintaining the measure is in the economic interest of the UK, a statement notes. Countervailing or anti-subsidy measures are the UK's one of three trade policy tools to counter imports which are causing or threatening injury to domestic industry, the other two being anti-dumping and safeguard measures. Countervailing or counteracting measures address imported goods which are being subsidised by foreign governments. The TRA found that while Indian imports of PET
