POLYMER PRICES Polyethylene December 2013: C2 increase fully factored in / Markets very sluggish / Further feedstock rise in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES Polypropylene December 2013: Higher production costs largely passed on / Larger hikes for low-priced customers and top-up orders / Supply increasingly tight / More rises in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES Styrenics December 2013: Notations largely unchanged / Producer hopes of margin gains shattered / Demand slack in short production month / Market players expect price hikes in January	06.01.2014
POLYMER PRICES PVC December 2013: Ethylene cost increase not fully passed on for S-PVC / Additives stable amid proportionate increase for blends / Costs pass down for E-PVC / Entire chain expected to see hikes in January	06.01.2014
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 Styrenics November 2013: PS and ABS prices come down on lower feedstocks / EPS producers improve margins / Demand still robust but December will be weaker / Sideways movement likely	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
