Turkey - Petrochemicals - PETKM: Ethylene - Naphtha Prices

• Ethylene-Naphtha spread increased by 8.3% WoW to USD393.2/ton on July 15th, due to the decrease in the naphtha prices (-10.1%). Recall that there was a 38% decrease in the previous 3-week period.

• As of 2Q22, the spread averaged at USD526.4/ton vs USD501.2/ton in 1Q22 and USD630.0/ton in 2Q21. Considering the weakness in the April-May period, we expect that the profitability may wane q/q in 2Q21. However, we anticipate that the margin deterioration may remain moderate, since the spread is not a direct indicator of the final product.
