Polystyrene:United States

摘要

US polystyrene prices stabilized this week following last week’s sharp drop in prices. High impact polystyrene maintained a larger than normal premium over general purpose as butadiene supplies remained tight. The high impact price was assessed at $1,605/mt FAS Houston, flat to last week. The delivered price was also flat at 74 cents/lb. A recent drop in spot styrene caused polystyrene prices to fall as much as 6 cents for general purpose last week. Styrene this week was offered at 48.5 cents/lb, down another 2 cents from last week.
