POLYMER PRICES PET July 2013: Notations lose a little more ground / Trend reversed over the month / Summer weather improves market balance / Buyers open their wallets again / Imports decline	02.08.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET June 2013: Notations follow costs downward / Worldwide oversupply tendency / European demand clearly below seasonal expectations / New capacities pressure outlook further	02.07.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET May 2013: Only sluggish movement in May / Unseasonably cold weather dampens demand / Capacity cuts slow to grip / PX rolls over / Downward potential for notations	04.06.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET April 2013: Sinking costs pressure notations but slight uptick in demand stems the bleeding / Supply shrinks further / Producer margins improve / Sideward movement likely in May	03.05.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET March 2013: Sinking feedstock costs pull polymers down further / Imports continue to swell supply / Strong resistance to buying / No change likely in April	03.04.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET February 2013: Slight cost increases passed down the chain / With order volume slack, markets quiet / High price level encourages substitution / Outlook dim	04.03.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET January 2013: Passing on cost rises still problematic / Global oversupply batters Europe / Cold weather further depresses slack off-season demand / Perspectives still dim	04.02.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET December 2012: Notations stable / Cost burden eases slightly / Demand slack in line with the season / January production cost trend will be decisive	03.01.2013
POLYMER PRICES PET November 2012: Producers strive to defend notations / Rollover the rule / Slight rebates for large accounts / Oversupply despite capacity cuts / Market likely to continue depressed in December	04.12.2012
