Stability In Methenamine prices in Russia: August Overview

The prices of Methenamine remained stable with minor fluctuations in the month of August 2024. The last week of August witnessed stable price trend as compared to the previous week. According to the analysts at ChemAnalyst, the prices increased marginally in mid -August and then remained stable for the rest of the month. The stability in the prices were attributed to various broader economic factors, raw material costs and various other factors.

The major factor which led to the stability in the market in the last week of August was stable feedstock pricing. Pricing of feedstock Ammonia remained stable in the market which led to stable production cost of Methenamine. The Methenamine price trend remained same as the feedstock price trend reflecting the impact of feedstock cost on the overall market of Methenamine in Russia. The annual inflation in Russia peaked in July, but medium term-inflationary risks remained high in the country. Despite high inflationary risks, the market for Methenamine remained stable as these factors had minimum impact on the prices of Methenamine. The stability was attributed to the overall balanced supply and demand in the market which was reflected by the stable price trend of Methenamine. The overall available production capacity depleted in the country, as said by bank Deputy governor Alexei Zabotkin. Pace of expansion of the manufacturing sector held back by sanctions barriers and by physical limitations on the output of the means of production. No change in the regulations affecting the production of Methenamine in the country also contributed to the stable market situation. Current trade relations and economic policies have not introduced new disruptions or trade barriers that could impact Methenamine prices. This stability supported a steady market for Methenamine in Russia. The demand from various downstream industries such as pharmaceutical sector and use in disinfectants remained consistent in the market with balanced supply which led to the stable price trend.

The Central Bank is expected to raise its key interest rate by 100 base points to 19% which could affect the prices of chemicals like Methenamine in the market. The market was also influenced by global market trends. Looking forward, the demand and supply dynamics remained balanced which could be extended further in the coming weeks. The stability in the prices was primarily driven by stable feedstock costs and consistent demand and supply dynamics in the market. The economic factors showed less impact on the Methenamine market as other factors were more dominating in the market.
