POLYMER PRICES North America April: Prices broadly under pressure / Demand remains subdued in almost all sectors / US tariff policy unsettles processors / No recovery expected in May	06.05.2025
POLYMER PRICES North America March: Prices trend mostly sideways / Weak basis, falling feedstock prices and “enormous uncertainty due to tariffs” / Further reductions likely in April	08.04.2025
POLYMER PRICES North America February: Unrest on US polymer market due to Trump's threat of import tariffs / Prices vary but predominantly stable	11.03.2025
POLYMER PRICES North America January: Enzo, Trump drive up prices of standard thermoplastics / Engineering grades stagnate in weak market / Uncertainty around tariffs in February	11.02.2025
POLYMER PRICES North America December: Stable to slightly falling prices in combination with sluggish demand and adequate supply / Feedstock quotations firmer recently / Price rises in January unlikely	14.01.2025
POLYMER PRICES North America November: Rollovers, reductions on weak market fundamentals / Weakness set to continue into new year / Trump's customs duties big unknown factor	10.12.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America October: Weak market conditions dominate picture in all segments / Reductions, rollovers everywhere / Softer cost side / November expected to be lower	05.11.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America September: Prices roll over or fall back / Weak demand continues / Production outages have no effect on quotes / Lower feedstock prices and surplus trend support decreases	07.10.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America August: Most prices roll over or fall / Only polyolefins rise because of increasing feedstock prices / FMs, outages due to weak demand have no effect on prices / No trend turnaround likely	03.09.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America July 2024: Hurricane Beryl leads to numerous outages, logistics problems / Polyolefin, PVC prices see some significant rises / PA 6 also considerably higher / August expected to stay mostly unchanged	06.08.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America June 2024: Most prices remain unchanged despite firmer feedstocks and production problems / Demand weak across the board / Reduced margins for producers also expected in July	03.07.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America May 2024: Rollover for most grades / Feedstock prices mixed / Converters still holding back on ordering / No price surges expected in June, but risk of hurricanes exists	11.06.2024
POLYMER PRICES North America April 2024: Prices move in different directions / PP falls again / Cost situation supports prices for engineering thermoplastics / No major price jumps expected in May	08.05.2024
