Recent disruption through the strait of Hormuz put polyolefins markets under acute pressure, testing whether supply shocks can materially shift pricing power in an oversupplied system.

In this insight paper, Argus VP Polymers Terry Glass examines why, despite severe feedstock inflation and logistics disruption, underlying market structures remained firmly in place, and what that means for commercial and strategic decision-making.
