Dear members,
 

I would like to share my monthly Styrene Monomer market commentary.
 

For January 2026, the Styrene Monomer spot average was recorded at 1,006 USD/t, representing an increase of approximately +95 USD/t compared to the December 2025 spot average of 911 USD/t.
 

Based on current market indicators, Styrene Monomer spot prices have increased to around 1,100 USD/t. Over the past month, Styrene Monomer spot prices have risen by approximately +180 USD/t.
 

At the same time, the spread between Benzene and Styrene prices remains at approximately 200 USD/t, with Benzene prices increasing at a similar pace. This development indicates that the recent price increases in Styrene are largely driven by feedstock cost dynamics.
 

In addition, the Styrene Monomer Rotterdam February 2026 contract price has been announced at 1,350 EUR/t, reflecting an increase of +120 EUR/t compared to the previous period.
