No capacity changes published on crude oil in 2026 yet.
Oil stays dear through year end and only eases next year, on an official forecast. Resin and bitumen costs follow crude, so expect firm prices on roofing and laminating resins this winter; cheaper US gas does little for UK buyers.
Interest rates are up again, with Brent at USD 108/bbl and gas at 216p/therm behind the Bank's inflation outlook. Both feed resin, bitumen and coating costs, so expect producer price notices to follow in the coming months.
For green energy and industrial contractors, the diesel rise could feed into site plant, crane and haulage costs on wind and solar jobs, so fixed-price tenders may need a fuel clause. Continued reliance on gas generation means power costs for energy-intensive resin and fibre production could stay volatile and may show up in composite price notices.
