How they are linked

1. Price link: end use

Cost and price · Strong · Both ways

Polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene insulate most power cables, so grid build-out adds demand. The wire and cable price index moves with the resin proxy at 0.27 monthly and 0.68 yearly, also driven by copper.

• 0.27 monthly change correlation
• 0.68 12-month change correlation
