The USA Fatty Alcohol market witnessed a notable recovery in late June after remaining largely stable throughout most of the month. Fatty Alcohol prices were supported by firmer buying activity and moderate restocking by market participants, resulting in a 3.76% week-on-week increase during the first week of July. Earlier in June, the Fatty Alcohol market remained balanced, with stable supply conditions and unchanged feedstock costs limiting price fluctuations. Demand from key downstream sectors, including the personal care, detergent, and industrial surfactant industries, remained consistent, preventing significant price declines despite a softer month-on-month trend. The Fatty Alcohol C12-15 DEL Louisiana grade was assessed at USD 3,460/MT during June, lower than the previous reference level of USD 3,712/MT, highlighting the broader bearish sentiment reflected in declining 12-week moving averages. However, improved purchasing interest toward the end of the month helped lift Fatty Alcohol prices. Looking ahead, the outlook for the USA Fatty Alcohol market will depend on sustained downstream demand, inventory movements, and changes in upstream feedstock and energy costs, which will determine whether the recent recovery develops into a sustained upward trend.
