And the energy-rich Middle East with plenty of petrochemical supplies looks well-suited to meet the substitution requirements. <\/p>\n<p>The region is already Chinas biggest source for polyethylene \u2014 one of the most commonly used plastics in the world \u2014 and can further boost exports to the country along with another major seller South Korea, according to Goldman Sachs Group. China may need to replace 2.3 million tonnes of PE next year if the tariffs are implemented, the bank said. China imports 12.7 million tonnes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/definition\/product\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">product<\/a> a year, of which the US currently accounts for only 600,000 tonnes, Goldman estimates. But purchases from the US have the potential to grow more than threefold over the next two years if the tariffs arent implemented, it said. <\/p>\n<p>As for propane, China is the third-biggest export market for the US and has boosted purchases from there in recent years. Although the tariffs wont hurt America as much as intended, the most likely alternative option is the Middle East as more supplies come on stream there, according to industry consultant Energy Aspects. In particular, Iran stands out as a likely beneficiary as the Persian Gulf nation can sell the gas at a discount to regional contract prices, said FGE consultant Ong Han Wee. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/markets\/stocks\/news\/middle-east-can-emerge-as-winner-in-us-china-spat\/articleshow\/63676311.cms\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/photo\/60278104.cms\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ET Markets<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ann Koh<\/p>\n<p>The Middle East is emerging as a potential benef..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":71262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
