January 28th News: The World Bank has revised its forecast for Brazil's 2026 GDP growth downward from 2.2% to 2%, primarily due to factors such as Brazil's real interest rates, trade frictions, and global economic uncertainties. Chempricehub Analysis of Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC), Bull-Bear Score: -1. The World Bank's downward revision of Brazil's 2026 GDP forecast, driven by rising real interest rates, trade frictions, and global economic uncertainties, may lead to an economic slowdown in Brazil, reducing demand in water treatment and industrial sectors. As a bulk commodity, the spot price of poly aluminum chloride faces pressure from weakening demand, constituting a generally bearish impact. Polyacrylamide (PAM), Bull-Bear Score: -1. The downward revision of Brazil's GDP forecast reflects increased economic risks, which may suppress consumption demand in industries such as petroleum extraction and water treatment. The spot price of polyacrylamide is affected by this, with expected weak demand likely to exert downward pressure. Combined with global uncertainties, this forms a generally bearish outlook.
