POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in December 2008: Downswing rolls over into this market, too / Notations for almost all polymers lower / Only PMMA holds up / More price wars expected in Q1
07.01.2009
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in November 2008: Sluggish demand puts a sudden end to high prices / Imports exert intense pressure on ABS / Softening tendency for all standard grades
04.12.2008
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

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
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
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering thermoplastics at the end of November: Calls for increases mostly on hold / Imports pressure lower end of the ABS, PC and PBT scales / Supply mainly well-balanced / Producers intend to push through significant rises in 2008
06.12.2007
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering thermoplastics at the end of October 2007: Calls for hikes unheeded / Supply mainly stable / K 2007 and German bank holiday reduce demand / Prospects for large Q4 increases uncertain
