This surge is attributed to a strong consensus on the return of a bull market in commodities, with investors shifting focus to the chemical sector after previous gains in precious and industrial metals [2] - Factors supporting this rally include rising oil prices due to geopolitical tensions in major oil-producing countries and increased natural gas prices in Europe and the U.S. due to severe weather, which have positively impacted the cost side for chemical products [2] - Supply-demand mismatches have also contributed to the strength in the chemical sector, with tight supply conditions for butadiene and unexpected shutdowns in styrene production leading to increased speculative activity in the market [2] Group 3: Lithium Carbonate and Other Commodities - Lithium carbonate saw a significant increase, rising nearly 6% to reach a new high, driven by supply uncertainties and strong downstream demand from battery manufacturers.
