Polymer Prices Standard Thermoplastics

POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene July 2018: Prices only slowly orientate to fall in ethylene reference / Changes range from rollovers to moderate reductions / Special offers disappear / August tending very quiet	03.08.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene July 2018: No major price movements / Slack demand slows momentum / Firmer reference means fewer concessions in August despite lull	03.08.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC July 2018: Price pressure arises from softer cost structure and trend towards oversupply / Holiday period weakens already low demand / August expected to be rather weak	02.08.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend July 2018: Producers aim to pocket fall in reference price / Demand tends downwards / Holiday season casts shadow / Further softening possible	13.07.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene June 2018: Producers still finding it difficult to factor in costs / Critical margin thresholds evidently reached / Attitudes harden / Fierce battles over stability likely in July	04.07.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene June 2018: Cost pass-through for standard grades fails / Distributors seize chance / Compounds rise ahead of summer lull / July notations likely stable	04.07.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics June 2018: Producers fail to meet pricing targets / Purchasers prove to be highly resistant / Price increases largely remain below cost increases / SM reference trending down / Discounts likely	04.07.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC June 2018: Producers have to accept margin losses / Demand still too weak for costs to be passed on / Virtually no positive momentum in July either	03.07.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend June 2018: Higher feedstock costs drive up all polymer notations / Price speculation dampens demand / Producers not prepared to make further concessions	13.06.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene May 2018: Many long bank holiday weekends dampen price dynamic / Producers' hopes of recouping cost increases mostly prove unrealistic / Rising oil prices drive up C2 reference for June / Price hikes unavoidable	05.06.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics May 2018: Prices continue to decline / Only slight discounts on ABS / Holidays dampen demand / Price trend reversal likely in June following uptrend for styrene	05.06.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene May 2018: Hikes below cost rise / Bank holiday lull brakes producer announcements / Costs will drive prices higher in June	05.06.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC May 2018: Good supply prevents full cost recovery for base grades and compounds / Rollovers predominate / Pastes higher on solid demand / Upward movement expected in June due to sharp price increase for ethylene	04.06.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend May 2018: PE notations present non-uniform picture / PP somewhat firmer / Price cuts for styrenics / Long holiday weekends slow down demand / Problems with logistics	14.05.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene April 2018: Most attempts to pass on higher costs fail / Pipe grades are exception / Film segment characterised by surplus / Producers likely to call for higher increases in May due to rise in C2 reference	04.05.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene April 2018: Most producers unable to pass on cost rise / Soft demand at Easter / Weakness in demand could persist in May / C3 surge will boost polymer	04.05.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics April 2018: Significant decrease of SM ends uptrend / Three-digit reductions on PS and EPS / Processors reluctant to order / Further reductions likely in May	04.05.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC April 2018: For base grades and compounds, pro-rata cost increases were passed on in most cases / Situation for additives has calmed / Pastes buoyed by good demand / Continued uptrend expected in May	03.05.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend April 2018: PE and styrenics under pressure / PP, PVC and EVA producers pass on part of higher costs / Expectations of revival in demand during the month	13.04.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene March 2018: Producers pass on most of cost reduction / First LLDPE imports from US put pressure on prices / Slight uptrend likely in April due to rise in ethylene reference	05.04.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene March 2018: Cost relief broadly passed on / Sufficient supply / Converters' buying tactics shred producers' margins / Firm rollover likely in April	05.04.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics March 2018: Increased SM costs further drive up prices / New all-time high for EPS / Price expectations limit demand / Significant reductions expected for April	05.04.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC March 2018: Marginal declines in base grades and rigid compounds / High price of plasticiser pushes up plasticised compounds / Pastes stay at same level / Slight upward trend in April	04.04.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend March 2018: LDPE under price pressure / Maintenance turnarounds and scarce imports support other polyolefins / Higher styrene reference drives up PS and EPS / Buyers hold back in hope for price cuts in Q2	13.03.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene February 2018: Producers mostly succeed in passing on cost increases / High stock levels reduce customers' need to buy / Falling costs create space for price cuts in March	05.03.2018
