Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

Refineries strip sulphur from fuels to meet clean-fuel rules, so sulphur output rises with refinery runs whatever its price. Against the US refinery index the acid proxy correlates at 0.28 monthly and 0.57 yearly, a weak tie because refining sets sulphur supply, not demand.

• 0.28 monthly change correlation
• 0.57 12-month change correlation
