Regional Outlook

Updated to Q1 2021

One producer may have limited supply because of a possible turnaround in February, while another producer will have limited January cargoes due to previous shutdown and overall low operating rate, which will decreased the supply in both CFR China and CFR southeast Asia market. However, other producers may resume their bulk offers in late Q1 if the tightened feedstock markets would be eased and there is healthy demand from downstream. The expected arrival of deep-sea cargoes may also improve the supply in southeast Asia.

Demand from China importers may be boosted in the beginning of Q1, as some downstream users will stock up before Chinese New Year. But demand may turn muted in February due to the holidays in China. While in southeast Asia, sustainable demand may last into January due to low inventory in local markets, but may see decrease further if demand in China turns muted, and more cargoes will be diverted to southeast Asia markets.
