Daily Chemical Market Price Overview — June 13, 2026

The latest daily chemical price update highlights key movements across major sectors including Basic Chemicals, Fine Chemicals, Energy, Plastics, and Other Industrial Chemicals. This report summarizes daily, weekly, and monthly price fluctuations to help manufacturers, traders, and procurement professionals better track short-term market volatility and broader pricing trends across the chemical supply chain.

Market activity today was dominated by sharp corrections in select inorganic salts and polymers, while PTMEG and ester-based intermediates saw strong speculative and restocking-driven gains amid uneven downstream demand conditions.

Poly(ethylene glycol) prices ↑ 23.14%

Poly(ethylene glycol) recorded the strongest gain in today's market, surging 23.14% day-on-day. The sharp increase was mainly driven by tight spot availability and aggressive replenishment purchases from pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical manufacturers. Although weekly gains remained relatively modest at 1.52%, the sudden jump suggests temporary supply constraints and low inventory levels played a significant role in today's rally.

Sodium chloride prices ↓ -29.03%

Sodium chloride posted the largest decline across all monitored products, falling 29.03% from the previous session. The steep correction likely reflects the normalization of earlier supply disruptions and the release of lower-priced inventories into the market. Despite the sharp daily drop, monthly prices remained 2.9% higher, indicating that the decline was driven more by short-term market adjustments than by a fundamental deterioration in demand.

Price dropped 29.03% today — Attractive purchasing opportunity for industrial salt consumers.

Tetrahydrofuran prices ↓ -18.07%

Tetrahydrofuran (PTMEG) experienced the second-largest decline of the day, falling 18.07%. The sharp correction followed previous price strength and was likely triggered by increased producer availability, weak downstream spandex demand, and cautious purchasing activity. Nevertheless, monthly prices remained 3.56% higher, suggesting that the market continues to trade above levels seen earlier in the quarter despite today's substantial pullback.

Price dropped 18.07% today — Buyers may find favorable sourcing conditions if downstream demand improves.
