POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics in October 2008: Price movements paralysed by order cancellations / Automotive segment applies the brakes / C3-linked PP declines / Supply good / Softer prices likely despite production cutbacks	06.11.2008
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Thermoplastics in September 2008: Price rises as Q3 ends / Most remaining calls for hikes still in place / Demand shrinks / Stability is likely in October	07.10.2008
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
