Energy Prices and Raw Material Costs: The Middle East conflict drives oil prices higher, which can increase the cost of raw materials like benzene, propylene, natural gas, and sulfur, directly impacting AdvanSix's production costs.

Global Economic Growth and Industrial Demand: Downgrades in global growth forecasts by institutions like the IMF, stemming from geopolitical conflicts, can reduce demand across AdvanSix's end markets such as automotive, building and construction, and plastics.

Domestic Economic Strength: A strong U.S. economy, evidenced by job growth and low unemployment, could support domestic demand for AdvanSix's products, especially in sectors like building and construction and consumer goods, potentially offsetting some global slowdown.
