03.07.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend June 2023: Significant reductions for all materials / Pressure from falling monomer costs and weak demand / Prices could crumble further in the coming weeks
13.06.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene May 2023: Prices still under pressure / Soft demand pushes discounts past C3 decline / Steeper discounts likely in June
02.06.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics May 2023: Colourful mix of small premiums for PS, slight discounts for EPS and rollover for ABS / June likely to bring uniform downward movement
02.06.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene May 2023: Oversupply with most types / Demand unwilling to get going / C2 contract could prolong the downward spiral
02.06.2023
POLYMER PRICES
PVC May 2023: Downward price movement gains momentum / Supply easily outweighs demand / Very little ordering activity by the construction sector / Triple-digit reductions possible again in June
01.06.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend May 2023: Reductions with polyolefins and PVC / Styrenics trend firmer / Demand weak for all materials / Pressure on producers to make price concessions during the month
15.05.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene April 2023: Prices follow monomer lower / Demand weak across most segments / No trend change expected in May
03.05.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics April 2023: Rollover for PS, EPS / ABS trends lower / Demand remains weak / Price increases expected in May after rise in styrene reference
03.05.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene April 2023: Prices move farther downward / Declining C3 reference and soft demand dominate / Compounds also see prices fall / Pressure on PP could persist in May
03.05.2023
POLYMER PRICES
PVC April 2023: Downward trend continues / Price reductions, production cutbacks dominate / Rollover, further markdowns also likely in May
02.05.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend April 2023: Polyolefin prices turn downwards again / Styrenics stable or a little firmer / Weak demand to play into buyers' hands as the month progresses
17.04.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics March 2023: Declining styrene reference depresses prices / Supply remains plentiful with sluggish demand / April prices likely to spread around rollover
05.04.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene March 2023: Most producers suffer margin losses in March / First energy surcharges cancelled in April / Apart from LLDPE, all types likely to come under pressure
05.04.2023
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene March 2023: Balanced market situation at beginning of month / Naphtha rebate leads to lower price expectations / Supply should substantially outpace demand in April
05.04.2023
POLYMER PRICES
