  • Understand how regional supply length and shifting trade flows are shaping near‑term market balance.
  • Examine how narrowing naphtha-ethylene spreads and reduced South Korean cracker run rates are affecting short‑term regional supply dynamics.
  • Hear how Europe’s cost structure, ETS exposure and rationalisation activity are influencing competitiveness.
  • Explore how rising global capacity additions are affecting North America’s export position and derivative margins.
