POLYMER PRICES Engineering Thermoplastics in August 2008: Hikes at the higher end widen the price range / Imports pressure PBT and POM / Demand turns downward at mid-month / Supply situation will dictate developments	04.09.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Thermoplastics in July 2008: Summer holiday season puts a damper on steep hikes / Some forward movement for PC, ABS and PA 6 / Upward pressure remains / Demand steers price movements	06.08.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Thermoplastics in June 2008: Q2 ends on a stable footing / Absence of imports fuels ABS / Demand weakness in southern Europe lengthens supplies in the north / Higher feedstocks propel PA, PBT and POM	04.07.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Thermoplastics in May 2008: Battle for market share puts downward pressure on notations / Strong demand despite short production month / Outlook for end of Q2 mostly stable / Cost explosion could fuel polymer hikes in Q3	05.06.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Thermoplastics in April 2008: Q2 starts with minor corrections / ABS, PA and POM move up / PMMA and PP stable / PC down slightly, PBT loses more / Renewed calls for increases / PP under pressure	07.05.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics at the end of March 2008: Prices mostly stable as Q1 ends / Only minimal movements in PC, PA, PBT and POM / Producers try for hikes, despite declines in feedstock costs	04.04.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics at the end of February 2008: Prices predominantly firm / Demand below expectations / PC slips again / PMMA up / C3 hike passed on in bulk PP business / Producers still seeking rises across the board	06.03.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics at the end of January 2008: PA 6.6 and PBT move up / End of rock-bottom notations for POM, PMMA and PP compounds / ABS, PC and PA 6 still stable / Supply normal / Demand slow to recover / Conditions favourable for price hikes	06.02.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics at the end of December 2007: Increases not yet accepted / ABS and PC down again / Supply mostly well-balanced / Only POM tight / Methanol at record high / Significant hikes on the table / Latest transactions higher	07.01.2008
