POLYMER PRICES Standard Thermoplastics Trend July 2008: Q3 ethylene price propels polyolefins and PVC upward / PS and EPS point sharply upward on tight styrene / Supply balanced to tight / Slack demand / Proposed price hikes likely to grip	14.07.2008
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in June 2008: Second quarter closes with dramatic cost bang / Supplies of some polymers short due to plant outages and capacity cutbacks / Steep rises announced	03.07.2008
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of June 2008: Cost explosion in oil and derivatives makes an impact / PE climbs strongly due to stockpiling / PP does about-turn to move up / PVC relatively weak / PS and EPS take off	13.06.2008

POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of February 2008: Slow ordering keeps producer price increases in check / Polyolefins catch up with monomer rises / PVC slightly, PS and EPS significantly higher / Producers' inventories start to swell	14.02.2008
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in January 2008: Price explosion for polyolefins / PVC stable / Styrenics also up / PE just balanced / Cracker situation unstable / Speculative trading brakes PP / PS tightening? / Further hefty hikes on the table	05.02.2008
POLYMER PRICES Strong demand tightens hexene grades of LLDPE / Price curve increasingly uncoupled from standard product / C6 to be reported separately in PIE	04.02.2008
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of January 2008: Major increases for PE and EVA / Monomer increases up the pressure / PP and styrenics also rise / PVC still stable / Supply relatively well balanced / Demand normal	15.01.2008
INEOS NOVA EPS price rise is higher than expected	08.01.2008
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in December 2007: No year-end “close-out sale” / Prices mainly firm / Minor corrections at each end of the scale / Advance purchases stemmed / Higher feedstocks prompt calls for steep polymer hikes	04.01.2008
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of December 2007: Prices predominantly firm / Producers put an end to advance purchases / Buyers who have not yet signed contracts still negotiating / Announcements of large increases for January	12.12.2007
INEOS NOVA Higher prices for EPS in January and February	11.12.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in November: Polyolefins and PVC drop slightly / PS follows SM downward / EPS now at rock bottom / Record feedstock prices drive advance purchases / Producers also call for rises at year-end	05.12.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of November 2007: No major price slump / Rollover talk for polyolefins and PS subsides / EVA still climbing / PVC stable / EPS could bottom out soon	14.11.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in October: Calls for price hikes fall on deaf ears / Polyolefins in weak rollover / PVC stable / Styrenics slip back again / Price spiral pointing predominantly downward	05.11.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of October: Calls for increases prove unrealistic / Polyolefins development uneven / PVC stable / PS and EPS slide further / Supply predominantly good / Demand mostly slack	15.10.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in September: Slacker demand undermines calls for significant rises / Upward trend sluggish for polyolefins and PVC / Styrenics move down with monomer contract / Implementation of further hikes appears doubtful	03.10.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of September: Most polyolefins rise only slightly / Demand slows / PVC clearly on the way up / PS crumbles under renewed fall in styrene monomer contract / EPS numbers starting to bottom out?	14.09.2007
