March IPEX jumps by 11% month on month on rising prices in Europe and Asia

The ICIS Petrochemical Index (IPEX) extended gains in March, rising 11.4% for the month, tracking price increases seen across most of the major petrochemical and plastics commodities.

Northwest Europe prices posted the sharpest increase because of higher styrene, benzene and toluene pricing.

The US Gulf index posted the most moderate hike, with ethylene, styrene and benzene leading the rise.

All the petrochemicals and plastics prices used to calculate the index in the US Gulf were higher in March, with the exception of propylene and polypropylene.

Both US Gulf butadiene and Europe methanol prices are expected to be updated in the upcoming days in the IPEX index.

The northeast Asia index also went up substantially on the back of stronger styrene, ethylene and polystyrene.

In northeast Asia, only methanol values declined in March.

The Global IPEX index soared by 57% year on year.

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