What evidence does Indorama Ventures cite to support its claim that the petrochemical industry glut is easing?

Indorama Ventures cites Middle East supply disruptions and factory closures as key factors tightening the market and reviving margins; it notes that geopolitical tensions are disrupting production and trade flows from some Middle Eastern producers, and that industry-wide shutdowns and consolidation—particularly in China, South Korea, and Europe—are helping absorb overcapacity built up in recent years.

How did Indorama Ventures' financial performance in the April–June quarter reflect the improving market conditions?

Indorama Ventures' bottom line swung to a profit of 5.96 billion baht ($181 million) in the April–June quarter from a loss a year earlier—the highest quarterly profit in nearly four years—driven largely by its core polyethylene terephthalate business, where a key industry margin more than doubled year-on-year to $279 a ton, aided by lower operating rates and temporary supply disruptions.
