Updated to Q2 2019
Some planned and unplanned outages will be hampering supply in Q2 2019. MOL has its annual month-long maintenance planned in June. Another European producer is said to have some issues on a butane plant and there are talks of the production hiccup lasting throughout the year. Material from Asia is expected to carry on entering Europe, keeping the market afloat.
The MA market awaits some signs of recovery from the disappointing first quarter. The industry anticipates a scenario more in line with annual averages, with a pick-up in demand until the month of September. However, some have complained about prices being on a roller-coaster since the 2016 price slump and there is apprehension of further erratic movement.
