03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics January 2016: ABS and EPS follow cost decline / Only PS notations stable / Improved availability / SM's renewed decline sets the stage for further falls in February
03.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES
PVC January 2016: Tough stance allows producers to achieve small margin gains despite downtrend / Notations of ready-to-use blends declining at a steeper pace / Price fight to enter round two in February / Current trends expected to uphold
02.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Thermoplastics Trend January 2016: Cost reductions slow to take effect / PS tends firmer / Potential for further concessions before the end of the month despite surprisingly lively demand
15.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene December 2015: Tough negotiations up to end of the month push level of increases down slightly / January ethylene contract lower / Price reductions expected / Middle East is element of uncertainty
06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene December 2015: Upward momentum gradually lessens / Tight market / C3 trending downward / Integrated producers seek “structural changes” in compounds segment
06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics December 2015: Slight SM increase generates updraught for notations / Demand above expectations / Supply tightness especially for PS / Minor SM drop may result in weak rollover in January
06.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES
PVC December 2015: Base grades caught in strong rollover / Blends stable / Paste notations rise slightly / Costs expected to fall in January / Demand likely to pick up
05.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Thermoplastics Trend December 2015: Notations move up / PE, PP and PS hikes mostly caused by supply bottlenecks / Bank holidays curtail demand / No signs of improvement
15.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene November 2015: Tight market drives notations up / Producers insist on their "new normal" ultra-high margins / Costs play virtually no role / Further increases likely in December
03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene November 2015: Producers pocket most of cost relief / Tight supply meets lively demand / No holds barred in widening margins / Hikes possible in December
03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES
PVC November 2015: Slight declines as notations are caught in a weak rollover / Robust demand / Some processors stock up ahead of the new year / Stability likely despite C2 rise
03.12.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics November 2015: Slight fall in SM ushers in differing price trends / Availability tight / PS has bottomed out / EPS and ABS likely to follow in December
