European and African PE/PP editors Vicky Ellis, Linda Naylor and Ben Lake join with Deputy Gas Editor, Chris Renne to discuss a tumultuous week in Europe.

Spiking gas prices are already feeding through to both sentiment and contract discussions on the polymer market.

Combined with rising production costs and an uncertain outlook on transport, this is an unprecedented time for the petchem market, following on from the also unprecedented previous two years.

As prices up and down the value chain reach new heights, the group discuss how we got here, what the market is doing right now and outlook for the rest of the month and beyond.
