No summer break for market intelligence 🕵️♂️🌞
Summer is the perfect time to take the pulse of the refined glycerine market and get ready for smart decisions in September. Discover below a summary of the last publication of Oleoline Europe – Refined glycerine prices remain high, with different grades starting to converge in value. August spot availability is tight, supporting firm prices across all qualities. Suppliers are holding their ground, while buyers hesitate, judging current offers too expensive. Availability may improve in the coming weeks, but most grades still face supply challenges. China – Prices remain mostly stable. Some producers may restart operations in the coming days or weeks, raising concerns of increased supply and potential price drops. Demand remains weak, with most buyers in a wait-and-see mode. USA – Strong demand, especially for bulk GMO grade, and tightening supply keep upward pressure on prices. With non-GMO tariffs from Malaysia and Indonesia at 19%, many buyers are securing volumes ahead of Q4, further tightening South-East Asian supply. While a few U.S. producers are offering selectively for year-end, most remain cautious, and buyers are reluctant to commit at today’s price levels. Global picture – With buyers mostly waiting and sellers holding firm, the refined glycerine market is in a holding pattern at historically high price levels.
