January 16 (Reuters) - According to data released by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), Hungary's Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 3.3% year-on-year in December 2025. For the full year 2025, the CPI increased by 4.4% year-on-year. Chempricehub Analysis: Polyaluminum Chloride, Bull-Bear Score: 1 Hungary's CPI rose by 3.3% (December) and 4.4% (full year), indicating moderate inflation, which may reflect strengthening economic demand. This is favorable for the spot price of polyaluminum chloride, as inflation drives up the cost of industrial raw materials and increases demand for applications such as water treatment. Combined with recent data from the polyaluminum chloride futures market, where the price of the main contract shows an upward trend, the CPI data may reinforce investors' expectations of demand growth, supporting further increases in futures prices. Therefore, a generally favorable score is assigned. Polyacrylamide, Bull-Bear Score: 1 The CPI increase suggests a moderate rise in inflationary pressure in the Hungarian economy, which is generally favorable for commodity demand. As a key chemical in papermaking and petroleum extraction, the demand for polyacrylamide may rise due to cost-driven factors and increased industrial activity, pushing up spot prices. Based on polyacrylamide futures market trends, recent contract prices have shown steady performance, and the CPI data may further boost market confidence, benefiting futures prices. Therefore, it is assessed as generally favorable.
