The condition in the ethylene market worsens as prices plummeted further on October 22. Prices for most importing regions like Asia, Far East, Europe, and the US, showed a considerable plunge compared to earlier week.

Experts are of the opinion that this slow-down in ethylene prices is the result of plummeting crude oil prices.
