No orders published on natural gas in 2026 yet.
Price intentions across UK business are heading up, and manufacturers are barely more confident than in June. This is a survey of plans, not actual increases, but resin and coatings suppliers rarely absorb energy costs for long.
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.
