POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of February 2007: Capacity utilisation and supply normal / Producer-planned hikes not yet felt / Polyolefins firmer, PVC softer but stable / Steep drop in PS prices leads to hoarding / Slight discounts also for EPS	14.02.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics January 2007: No turnaround / PE, PP and EPS basically roll over / PVC slips / PS up slightly / Supply situation normal / Rises announced for polyolefins and PVC	05.02.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of January 2007: Normal start to the year / Most prices firmer / Only PVC slightly softer / Supplies adequate / No sign of producers´ hoped-for turnaround	15.01.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics December 2006: Only a few small "Christmas gifts" / Polyolefins and PS still soft / PVC and EPS firm / Good order book situation for January / Prices set to rise again?	04.01.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics trend December 2006: Waiting for year-end bargains / Polyolefins softer / PVC and EPS firm / Plant outages persist	12.12.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics November 2006: Very differentiated picture / Polyolefins show sharp drop / PS tends weaker / PVC and EPS more robust / Overcapacity pressures notations / Steep hikes announced for January	05.12.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics trend November 2006: Mixed picture / Polyolefin prices come down significantly / PVC continues to climb / PS weakening / EPS rolls over as market ceiling reached	14.11.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics October 2006: Slack orders prompt price concessions for PE / Rollover for PP and PS / Demand pushes PVC still higher / EPS upsurge appears to be nearing its limit	03.11.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of October 2006: Market situation dampens producers´ demands / PE just short of rollover / PVC, PP and PS up slightly / EPS still tight but upward curve somewhat flatter	16.10.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics in September 2006: Commodities hit by wave of price rises / Battle for volumes / Demand still strong / Significant increases also on the horizon for October	05.10.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of September: Rises take hold on a broad front / PE and PVC up sharply, PP advances slowly / PS producers at last improve margins / EPS situation still dramatic	18.09.2006
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the end of August 2006: PE injection moulding grades, PP and PVC stable / PE film grades up slightly / PS increase less than expected / EPS: "Blind" purchases / Further hikes on the agenda for September	05.09.2006
