POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning at April 2007: Demand and higher monomer contracts drive polymers upward / Polyolefins and PS rise significantly / Only PVC and EPS still stuck in a strong rollover / Supply generally adequate	16.04.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics March 2007: Continued strong demand for packaging boosts polyolefins / Only traders and distributors able to pre-buy / PVC and EPS unchanged as building rests until Easter at least / Notations likely to move up in April	04.04.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics at the beginning of March 2007: Supply situation varies / Producers´ increases go through almost everywhere / Polyolefins and PS tend upward / PVC and EPS stuck in a rollover / Building products still slack	14.03.2007
POLYMER PRICES Standard thermoplastics February 2007: Films business buzzes / Construction industry still quiet / Announced increases only just begin to bite / Polyolefins firm / PVC mixed / PS and EPS softer / Prices set to climb considerably in March	05.03.2007
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
