Key Market Drivers
• U.S. sanctions expand — The U.S. has expanded sanctions targeting Iran’s economic networks, keeping energy markets cautious.
• Strait of Hormuz risk — Rising tanker security concerns around Oman and Hormuz continue to raise supply and shipping risks.
• Crude softens, but uncertainty remains — Lower oil prices offer some relief, but geopolitical risks could quickly reverse the trend.
Why It Matters for Polymer Buyers
Lower crude prices may provide some cost relief, but potential disruption around the Strait of Hormuz could increase freight and petrochemical costs.
PolyMart Perspective
✅ Need-based buying — Avoid unnecessary inventory stocking and maintain balanced inventory.
