First Quarter of 2023 in North America Mineral Turpentine Oil Prices
North America
During Q1 2023, Mineral
Turpentine Oil Prices kept on fluctuating in the North American market,
where demand fundamentals remained low from the domestic downstream sectors,
and prices were primarily driven by orders from the international market. Data
reveals that the downstream industries like automotive, paints, and adhesives
showed some improvement by the end of the quarter but remained below
expectations due to prolonged inflationary pressure. Furthermore, the FED's
frequent price revisions on domestic interest rates were contributing to
concerns about the country's economy and affecting demand for the product.
Asia
The price of Mineral Turpentine
Oil (MTO) in India decreased by 2.4% in March 2023 compared to the previous
month, despite the seasonal increase in demand from downstream industries. The
low demand in the international market also affected the prices of imported
cargo. In February 2023, the product's price had increased by 3% due to high
demand from downstream industries and the country's better economic performance
compared to major economies. The market situation was bullish in February and
bearish in March, with moderate supplies and low demand. It is expected that
prices may rise further in the coming month due to high demand.
Europe
The European economy kept on
underperforming due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which has put pressure on
regional economic activities. As per data, demand for MTO from the domestic
automotive sector has remained low, while other sectors, such as adhesive and
paints, have also experienced a seasonal slowdown. Despite some disruptions in
the supply chain caused by snow, supplies remained stable to firm, and the
narrow demand-supply gap supported a downward price trend. The reduced risk of
a recession generated optimism for future demand.
