POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene November 2019: Fall in feedstock reference price determines the reductions / Nearly all products follow suit / Film grades suffer from poor demand / Rollover likely in December despite slightly firmer ethylene price	04.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene November 2019: Lower reference has repercussions along the chain / Demand remains weak / Players may take half of December off	04.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics November 2019: Prices continue to fall / Some reductions for PS and EPS exceed styrene cost decline / Oversupply dominates market / Further decreases likely	04.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES PVC November 2019: Ethylene reference sets the price span / Pro rata reductions have to be passed on / No margin improvement for producers / Depressed situation in the very short working month of December	03.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend November 2019: Most producers factor in reduction in feedstock costs / Dull market means that pressure continues / Further price cuts possible by the end of the month	13.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene October 2019: Factoring-in of cost increase is again the norm / Rises nevertheless sometimes less than reference increase / US imports begin to have an impact / Ethylene reference for November down / Price cuts on the cards	05.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene October 2019: Poor demand curbs margin gains / Producer prices fall / Lower propylene reference foreshadows November downswing	05.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics October 2019: Price curve turns down again / Minimal transfer of SM cost reduction / Oversupply and weak demand / Further discounts foreseeable	05.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES PVC October 2019: Market remains too weak to improve margins / Slight concessions still the rule instead / Sinking ethylene reference indicates November development	04.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend October 2019: Market mood remains gloomy / Buyers still holding back / Producers not always able to attain feedstock reference prices / Indications point to declining trend	14.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene September 2019: Most producers pass on cost reduction / Sales stimulated by bonus prospects and bottoming out of prices / Weak demand in October expected to dampen stabilisation as costs rise	03.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene September 2019: Producers succeed in partially retaining cost reduction / Supply shortage begins to affect prices / Slight consolidation expected in October	03.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics September 2019: Prices continue to rise / Premiums mostly below the cost increase / Weak demand for polystyrene and ABS / No or only slight price movements in October	03.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES PVC September 2019: Pro-rata cost reduction rapidly agreed / Production curtailments have no major consequences / Seasonal revival of demand turns out weak / Rises in October	02.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend September 2019: Reductions move PE and PVC prices towards cost target / PP producers improve their margins / Styrenics follow SM reference upwards	12.09.2019
