POLYMER PRICES PET July 2016: Notations continue to erode / Imports pressure commodities / Producers increasingly resort to specialities / Market situation begins to diversify	02.08.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET June 2016: Notations increasingly under pressure / Imports pick up again / Few impulses from cost angle / Already muted demand dampened further by "Brexit"	04.07.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET May 2016: Diverging trends / Medium-sized orders point down slightly as a result of import alternatives / Remaining orders drifting up / Uncertainty about June developments / The more sunshine, the higher the likelihood of hikes	02.06.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET April 2016: Producers have to concede earlier margin gains again / Price increases fall short of cost rise / Market more balanced than expected / Notations likely to move sideways in May	03.05.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET March 2016: Increases allow producers to improve their margins / Rising demand in Asia keeps imports at bay / Availability trending tight as beverage season gets underway / Further uptrend likely in April	04.04.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET February 2016: Prices on uneven downslide since onset of new year / Declines of past two months close to triple digits / Brisk spot trade disturbs suppliers / Producers hope notations will firm in March	02.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET January 2016: Price slide following cost decline / Processors mostly hold back / Inventory levels at producers are importers rising / Notations expected to continue to decline in February	02.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET December 2015: Weak rollover takes producers' margins down again / Notations pressured by cheap Asian imports / Feedstock cost developments will set the stage for January	05.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES PET November 2015: Slight cost increase lifts notations for bulk orders / Certain that prices have bottomed out, processors stock up / All signs point to a seasonally quiet December	03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES PET October 2015: Strong rollover / Only small-volume lot sales rise slightly / Availability curtailed / Demand satisfactory for it being the off-season / Notations could soften in November	03.11.2015
POLYMER PRICES PET September 2015: Costs fall a little more than prices / Imports significantly rarer / Demand livens up also due to topping-up effects / Indications point to stability in October	02.10.2015
POLYMER PRICES PET August 2015: Price decline gathers speed / Low Asian notations and oil's tail dive pull prices down / Imports abound / Notations likely to fall further in September	03.09.2015
POLYMER PRICES PET July 2015: Price fall exceeds feedstock decline / Imports rise / Converters' reticence to buy depresses demand balance / Downward pressure on notations will continue in August	05.08.2015
