Author: SSESSMENTS

American Chemistry Council (ACC) Weekly Chemistry & Economic Trends report on October 14, 2022 Oil prices were a little higher on last week’s OPEC announcement for additional production cuts at a time when strategic reserves around the world are historically low. The SPR is at four-decade lows following a series of coordinated releases intended to stabilize oil markets following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. U.S. natural gas prices were slightly lower than a week ago. The combined oil and rig count fell by three to 760 during the week ending 10/7.

Description: *The ratio of Brent oil price to Henry Hub natural gas price is a proxy for U.S. Gulf Coast petrochemical competitiveness. As a rough rule of thumb, when the ratio is above 7, the U.S. is comparatively advantaged. When it is below 7, the reverse is true. Energy prices as of 10/13; natural gas stocks and rig count for week ending 10/7.
