Modeled sensitivity
Naphtha costs and global polymer supply are key sensitivities
A modeled exposure signal based on the tracked inputs and drivers; it is not a measure of observed sector health.

Petrochem: feedstock-product spreads can narrow when supply is ample.
Naphtha and gas crackers feed into polymers, solvents, and synthetic fibres. Margin is the spread between feedstock cost and downstream product price.
Modeled sensitivity: Watch. Check the tracked inputs and drivers below.
Sensitivity drivers
Why it matters
Petrochemicals turn refinery and gas inputs into materials used by packaging, construction, consumer goods, and manufacturing. Input costs, product spreads, and the balance between domestic supply and imports shape margins through this long downstream chain.
