POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend December 2018: Hefty price cuts with all polymers after triple-digit fall in olefin and SM reference prices / Producers nevertheless improve margins	14.12.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene November 2018: Falling ethylene reference sets trend / Most notations show moderate decline / Following ethylene crash, December should see substantial price cuts	05.12.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene November 2018: Production outages trigger rollover / C3 fall factored in for homo injection moulding / Prices will sink noticeably in December	05.12.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics November 2018: Large discounts after SM reference nosedives / Cost reduction only partly transferred for PS and EPS / Occasional bottlenecks / Slump will continue in December	05.12.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC November 2018: Prices roll over or slightly fall / C2 reduction cannot be factored in across the market / Availability still limited / Large cut in the ethylene reference for December leads to expectations of price cuts	04.12.2018
TURKEY Currency crisis stifles polymer imports / Prices soar as lira falls / Markets in calmer waters since September	03.12.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend November 2018: Minor reductions with polyolefins / Styrenics take triple-digit plunge / Occasional supply restrictions with PVC and PP	14.11.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene October 2018: Sluggish demand curbs cost pass-through / Minor upturn for standard grades / Flat curve for compounds / Automotive weakness likely to persist	05.11.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene October 2018: Market generally continues weak / Producers unable to factor in cost increase / Prices of grades affected by imports tend down / Otherwise a rollover predominates / Little change expected	05.11.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics October 2018: Prices follow declining SM reference / Discounts on PS slightly below cost reduction / ABS under pressure from weak automotive performance and imports / Further decreases expected	05.11.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC October 2018: Rollovers predominate for standard PVC / Numerous production stoppages / Bottleneck on plasticiser market following BASF's force majeure / Lower November C2 reference contract takes upward pressure off the market	02.11.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend October 2018: Still only minor price movements with polyolefins / Significant reductions with styrenics / Limited supply with HDPE and homopolymer PP	15.10.2018
