- Turkey's PP, PE markets brace for April drops, eyes on economy and logistics
  
  Polyolefin prices in Turkey have followed a softening trend since the second half of February tracking the weak trend in virus-hit China. A lack of sufficient supplies for certain PP and PE grades amid scheduled turnarounds in the Middle East kept discounts in check despite unsupportive costs...
  
  Crude in freefall; will PE markets’ reaction resemble 2016 or 2008
  
  Crude oil prices in the US have recently neared $20/bbl, a threshold not seen since February 2002. Players are now widely trying to gauge the impact of nosediving oil on PE markets and see whether the last times crude oil futures suffered enormous decreases back in 2016 and 2008-2009 can give a clue about the bottom of PE prices...
  
  Freight rates climb as coronavirus hampers global logistics
  
  An all-out-combat against the COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions in global logistics during the last couple of months. A series of factors including the border closures between many nations, reduced number of ships and shortage of containers led to notably higher freight charges...
  
  A comparison of oil’s reflection on naphtha, ethylene between today and 2016, 2009
  
  Oil prices have been on a downward spiral due to supply glut and virus-hit-demand as both WTI and Brent futures tumbled 30% last week, the worst week since 2008. This week, erosion persists as both futures have come under $30/bbl on Monday’s daily trading...
