NE Asia Nov C2 supply grows on higher output, downstream maintenance

摘要

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Northeast Asian ethylene (C2) supply for November will increase on cracker restart and integrated downstream turnarounds in Taiwan and Japan. The transition from the tight conditions for October supply, however, will likely be a gradual process. Product availability for first-half to mid-November supply will still face some constraints in the form of a slowdown in US exports as well as facility shutdowns in South Korea and Thailand.
