Oil and Aromatics Prices Movement in 3Q/10
• Slower-than-expected economic recovery pressured oil price in July to August
• Expected QE2 and higher oil demand growth of 2.2 MBPD for 2010 supported oil price in September
• Growing economy especially in emerging countries coupled with seasonal demand supported higher prices of jet and diesel
• FO spread is supported by increased demand for power generation in Middle East and China
• Aromatics price was bottomed out in July
• Higher trend from August was caused by
- Increasing of oil prices
- Strong Aromatics derivatives demand for new year and winter season
- Iran has been sanctioned, resulted in shortage feedstock for Aromatics producer
- New PTA supply of 2 million tons in 4Q/10 will continue to support PX price

EUR/USD vs. WTI
EUR/USD
• Surplus liquidity and weakening USD were major factors driving up equity, and commodity markets.
• Non commercial volume has direct influence to WTI price .
• 2nd wave of Quantitative Easing by FED will increase liquidity another 600 billion USD over next 8 months and put more pressure on USD.
• Weak USD could lead to further shift of capital from USD assets to oil commodity.

Global Oil Demand Outlook
• IEA expect oil demand growth at 2.34 mbpd
this year. This will bring total oil demand for
2010 to 87.32 mbpd, the highest at all time.
• Global oil demand will continue to increase
around 1.0-1.5 mbpd in the next few years.
• Capacity growths from OPEC and Non-OPEC
are expected to be lower than demand
growth, OPEC spare capacity will be tighter.

• Though the strike is over it still takes time for these refineries to resume and l current inventory level is decline significantly.
• China distillate demand is expect to grow strongly in 4Q/10.
• Extra demand from Asian games and Government mandated a power supply cut forced Chinese plants to rely on diesel fired generator.
• Increased domestic retail prices could shift refiners focus to domestic market.

• IMF forecast global GDP growth in the next 5 years to be at a very healthy level just above 4.5%. Asian region will lead all growth.
• Asia Pacific and Middle East is projected to Oil demand growth almost 1 mbpd in the next 5 years about half of the demand growth will come from middle distillate.
• East of Suez refinery will see a breathing room in the next 3 years as demand growth will outpace capacity additions.

Strong PX Demand Recovery
• Continued economic growth in India and China support strong demand for PX derivatives.
• Market is expected to build polyester inventory to its normal level quickly as year end, seasonal demand is approached.
• Price of Cotton, a competitor to polyester, surged to highest level in 15 years due to environment disasters and reallocation of land for bio-fuel plantation.

• Iran sanction by UN forced the
country to redirect reformate from
Aromatics production to gasoline
substitution in place of imported
gasoline.
• Over 1 MTPA of Aromatics supply
disappeared from the market.
• This situation in Iran is expected to
prolong.
• Unplanned shutdown of plants due to
technical problems occur at the same
time caused PX price to rise sharply
in October and November.

• Demand in Northeast Asia grew 7.4 %from 2004 – 2009 and anticipated to continue growing 6.5% during 2009 –2014.
• The capacity in North America and West Europe will be under utilized compared to NE Asia due to weak demand and tight feedstock supply.
• Caprolactam global demand grew by 2.7% from 2002-2007.
• World economic crisis in late 2008 slashed down Nylon demand, many caprolactam plants out of service and never restart.
• Expected caprolactam demand growth by 3.1% during 2011 – 2015 mainly from China.
• Caprolactam is tight now and will reach critical in 2015 without new capacity.
