PODCAST: Europe, Middle East, Pakistan PE/PP eye ceasefires in May trends

LONDON (ICIS)–The ceasing of hostilities on both trade and war fronts are the focus of this month’s European PE and PP podcast, which assesses the impact of the US and China de-escalating their eye-watering tariffs battle for 90 days and of the India-Pakistan ceasefire.

Senior editors Vicky Ellis and Ben Lake look at May’s price trends, how US-China trade relations are influencing sentiment in Europe, and are joined by senior editor Nadim Salamoun to discuss President Trump’s announcement regarding lifting sanctions on Syria, and how Pakistan’s market responded to its ceasefire with India.

They also highlight ICIS coverage from the latest Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference (APIC) in Thailand, including how petrochemical demand may ramp up as US lifts Syrian sanctions, how South Korea is mulling petchem rationalization, and another ICIS podcast on Asian C2 players’ survival strategies.
