Episode 1313: PODCAST: Asia propylene demand curbed by weaker PO margins

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--The northeast Asian propylene import markets have been weighed down by lengthening supply amid restarts at propane dehydrogenation (PDH) units. However, lower affordability levels from derivatives such as propylene oxide (PO) have also curbed import demand.

• Oversupply a central issue in northeast Asia for PO makers 
• Tight SE Asia propylene supply likely to continue amid shutdowns

In this latest podcast, ICIS senior editor Julia Tan speaks with markets editor Shannen Ng to discuss market conditions and expectations for the near future.
