Polymer Prices Standard Thermoplastics

POLYMER PRICES PVC March 2016: Processors manage to obtain cost decline / Demand dampened by good inventories and Easter quiet / Rise in ethylene contract and seasonal demand point to increases in April	04.04.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend March 2016: Olefin notations gradually stabilise / Diverging price movements / Rise in SM contract drives styrenics up / Firming tendency	14.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene February 2016: Concessions match cost relief / Special offers and imports drive demand / Compound prices adjusted / Early Easter holiday will dampen March demand	03.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene February 2016: Most price cuts exceed the cost reduction / Decline in pipe grades also greater than the C2 fall / Orders pick up amid expectations that notations will bottom out soon / Stabilisation likely in March	03.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES PVC February 2016: Producers pass on almost the entire ethylene cost decline / Previous price levels unsustainable / Demand weaker than expected / Lack of imports and several turnarounds expected to result in stability for March	03.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics February 2016: Notations give way across the board / Declines do not always equal the cost reduction / Material availability suffices to meet demand / Notations likely to turn around in March	03.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend February 2016: Most cost reductions factored in / Declines for PVC somewhat more restrained / Battles over additional price cuts will characterise the rest of the month	12.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene January 2016: Declines exceed the cost reduction / Market moves towards surplus / Imports pressure / Notations likely to slide further in February	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene January 2016: Prices fall faster as the month progresses / Inventories swell as buyers hold back / Propylene at near-record low / Downward trend will continue in February	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES HDPE Pipe 80 and 100: Introducing new ranges	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics January 2016: ABS and EPS follow cost decline / Only PS notations stable / Improved availability / SM's renewed decline sets the stage for further falls in February	03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES PVC January 2016: Tough stance allows producers to achieve small margin gains despite downtrend / Notations of ready-to-use blends declining at a steeper pace / Price fight to enter round two in February / Current trends expected to uphold	02.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend January 2016: Cost reductions slow to take effect / PS tends firmer / Potential for further concessions before the end of the month despite surprisingly lively demand	15.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene December 2015: Tough negotiations up to end of the month push level of increases down slightly / January ethylene contract lower / Price reductions expected / Middle East is element of uncertainty	06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene December 2015: Upward momentum gradually lessens / Tight market / C3 trending downward / Integrated producers seek “structural changes” in compounds segment	06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics December 2015: Slight SM increase generates updraught for notations / Demand above expectations / Supply tightness especially for PS / Minor SM drop may result in weak rollover in January	06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES PVC December 2015: Base grades caught in strong rollover / Blends stable / Paste notations rise slightly / Costs expected to fall in January / Demand likely to pick up	05.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend December 2015: Notations move up / PE, PP and PS hikes mostly caused by supply bottlenecks / Bank holidays curtail demand / No signs of improvement	15.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene November 2015: Tight market drives notations up / Producers insist on their "new normal" ultra-high margins / Costs play virtually no role / Further increases likely in December	03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene November 2015: Producers pocket most of cost relief / Tight supply meets lively demand / No holds barred in widening margins / Hikes possible in December	03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES PVC November 2015: Slight declines as notations are caught in a weak rollover / Robust demand / Some processors stock up ahead of the new year / Stability likely despite C2 rise	03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics November 2015: Slight fall in SM ushers in differing price trends / Availability tight / PS has bottomed out / EPS and ABS likely to follow in December	03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend November 2015: Prices oblivious to cost movements / Market situation dictates / PE prices move up / Producers gain margin improvements with PP and styrenics	16.11.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene October 2015: Producers defend their margins again / Price declines largely limited to cost reduction / Imports fill many European gaps / Stability on the horizon	04.11.2015
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene October 2015: Producers pass on all of their cost relief / Pressure from global upstream markets / Price slide likely to slow in November	04.11.2015
