BMO sees US ethane prices up 33% since July on export growth

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 04:57:43 -0400

Investing.com -- US ethane prices have risen 20% month-to-date and 33% since the end of July, according to BMO Capital Markets. The increase outpaces US natural gas markets, where Henry Hub prices gained 3% month-to-date and 12% over the same period.

BMO's energy team identified several factors driving the ethane price increase. The Chevron-Qatar Golden Triangle plant's ethane cracker is expected to begin commissioning in late 2026 and ramp up in 2027. The facility may be drawing on markets to add storage and fill pipelines ahead of its expected 110,000 barrels per day consumption when operational.
