POLYMER PRICES PVC February 2018: Producers win only small margin improvements with base grades / Rigid compounds again move up at above-average rate / Upward pressure likely to continue in March	02.03.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend February 2018: Producers factor in feedstock cost increases to varying extents / Bigger rises with PVC and PP / Further hikes expected / Falling oil prices should ease situation a little	13.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene January 2018: Cost increase transferred / Market trends tight / Significant boost for standards and compounds likely in February	05.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene January 2018: Producers' demands find little favour / Market situation rarely allows more than rollover / Prices for LLD grades fall / Increased costs likely passed on in February	05.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics January 2018: Rollovers for PS and EPS / Moderate premiums on ABS / Solid demand at start of year / Strong increases likely in February / EPS players concerned	05.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC January 2018: Producers' demands mainly come to nothing / Lull in exports due to weak USD thwarts plans / Titanium dioxide driving up rigid compounds further / Increases in sight for February	02.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend January 2018: Prices mainly following reference contracts for relevant feedstocks / Higher swings remain exception / Upward pressure having greatest effect on PP	15.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene December 2017: Producers unable to pass on increased costs / Tactical buying neutralises hopes of hikes / Rollover dominates / Slight upward trend probable in January	04.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene December 2017: Surprise surge for injection moulding / Film grade rolls over / Compounds follow propylene reference / Upward trend to continue in January	04.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics December 2017: Increasing costs again reversing price trend / Short supply of EPS and ABS persists / Only minor price movements likely in January	04.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES PVC December 2017: Notations mainly stagnating / Suppliers intend to recover margin losses in January / Threat from exports / Titanium dioxide providing upward push on PVC-U	03.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend December 2017: Stability predominates / At most only minor price hikes / Producers unable to factor in feedstock cost increases in full / Converters under no pressure to act	14.12.2017
