Podcast - China LPG market weekly takeaway: strong international prices meet rising supply

China's LPG market is facing contrasting signals from international costs and domestic fundamentals.

High international LPG prices and elevated import costs are supporting China's domestic LPG prices, but rising import arrivals and port inventories point to growing LPG supply in China. Meanwhile, weaker demand is creating a mixed outlook across LPG-related markets.

Key takeaways:

• High international LPG prices and import costs are expected to keep China's domestic LPG prices lifted, with moderate gains likely in the near term.
• Higher import arrivals are adding to supply, while weaker consumption could push port inventories higher.
• Downstream performance remains mixed: PDH profitability improved, alkylation losses narrowed but the sector remained loss-making, while etherified C4 and MTBE prices declined.
