Argus’s global petrochemical consultants (Sarah Rae from London, Craig Barry from Houston, and Toon Shien Lee from Singapore), gathered to discuss the latest trends and key issues in the global ethylene market, as well as their market prospects for major economies in the coming years, ahead of the Argus Chemicals Forum on 22 September and EPCA on 23–25 October. Key topics in the podcast are:

• Examining the reasons for the continued strength of ethylene prices in the US and its impact on exports. Will US ethane exports continue to rise?

• Will the capacity rationalisations tighten the market balance and, in that case, will margins improve?

• How are regional cracker expansions and trade dynamics influencing ethane demand, and what does this mean for the global industry?
