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
POLYMER PRICES PVC November 2013: Weak market leads to slight price and margin erosion / Stagnation in December	04.12.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene November 2013: Converters secure cost reductions by the end of the month / Market situation turns from good to tight as November draws to an end / Unusually, December could see price increases	04.12.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene November 2013: Cost reductions barely passed through / Market tightens as month progresses / Notations stabilise / Propylene higher in December / Polymer hikes certain	04.12.2013

POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend November 2013: PE and PP producers pass on lower costs / Signs point to stabilisation / PVC stands its ground / Styrenics fall in line with monomer	14.11.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene October 2013: Rebates for standard grades slightly exceed producers' cost reduction / Compounds hold up / Further deterioration likely but rate of decline will be slower	05.11.2013
POLYMER PRICES PVC October 2013: Falling ethylene costs passed on for almost all grades / Balanced market situation / Some demand weakness in piping systems / Further price drop in November likely	05.11.2013
POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene October 2013: Film grade rebates exceed producer cost relief / Supply still tight / End markets not yet stimulated / Further deterioration seen but downswing could bottom out	05.11.2013
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics October 2013: Rally is over / SM pulls polymer downward / Monomer increase passed on for PS / Margin improvement for EPS producers / Further deterioration expected	05.11.2013
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend October 2013: Lower feedstock costs factored in to polyolefins / Price cuts less marked with PVC / Styrenic customers benefit only partially / PE and PS weaker / Stable prospects at current level	14.10.2013
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics September 2013 - NEW: Individual standard thermoplastics reports / Updated structure and enhanced reviews	03.10.2013
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics PVC September 2013: Base material goes up slightly more than feedstocks / Compounds increase due to more expensive additives / Crumbling prices likely in October	03.10.2013
CORRECTION - POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics PE September 2013: Producers succeed in passing on increased costs / Attempts at margin improvements fail / Renewed fall in ethylene notation puts pressure on prices / Tough battles likely	03.10.2013
POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics PP September 2013: Propylene hike drives prices higher / Producers fail to secure more than the cost rise / General reluctance to buy / Prices likely to drop in October	03.10.2013
