POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene February 2014: All polymer notations remain unchanged on stable feedstock / Market lively and well-balanced / Trend for March points to continued stability	05.03.2014
POLYMER PRICES PVC February 2014: Cheaper ethylene thwarts producers' hike plans / Slight declines / Demand gathers momentum / Declining caustic soda notations pressure polymers	05.03.2014
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics February 2014: PS, EPS and ABS with slight gains / Hikes below production cost increase / Market largely in balance / Lower SM contract signals polymer rebates in March	05.03.2014
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend February 2014: Price movements largely follow costs / PE producers achieve small margin gains / PVC manufacturers refuse to budge / Styrenics tending weaker	17.02.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene January 2014: Upturn loses momentum during the month / Producers net little more than the cost increase / Supply situation improves / Prices likely to fall in February	05.02.2014
POLYMER PRICES PVC January 2014: Producers mostly manage to pass on moderate ethylene cost increase / Additional rises unachievable despite solid demand / Producers face mounting pressure as countertrend in caustic soda prices loses steam	05.02.2014
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics January 2014: Prices ride SM tailwind upward / Only PS producers pass on full cost rise / Margin losses for EPS / Mixed bag for ABS / Demand firming / Slight gains likely in February	05.02.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene January 2014: Producers achieve slight margin gains / Tight supply situation eases gradually / February propylene contract again sideways / Downward pressure on polymer	05.02.2014
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend January 2014: Year begins with price increases / Slight margin gains for polyolefins / PVC and styrenics producers pass on higher costs / Upward trend in spring	15.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene December 2013: C2 increase fully factored in / Markets very sluggish / Further feedstock rise in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene December 2013: Higher production costs largely passed on / Larger hikes for low-priced customers and top-up orders / Supply increasingly tight / More rises in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics December 2013: Notations largely unchanged / Producer hopes of margin gains shattered / Demand slack in short production month / Market players expect price hikes in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES PVC December 2013: Ethylene cost increase not fully passed on for S-PVC / Additives stable amid proportionate increase for blends / Costs pass down for E-PVC / Entire chain expected to see hikes in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend December 2013: Cost increases generally being factored in with polyolefins / Further hikes possible with film grades / Otherwise, largely calm	13.12.2013
