Polyvinyl Chloride : Europe

摘要

April contract negotiations continued this week as producers said they were defending their positions at the Eur50-65/mt ($66-85/mt) increase level while converters in northwest Europe talked a Eur45-50/mt range. "It is tough to get buyers to accept a fourth consecutive price increase, but we are still fighting for margins. Announcements at the beginning of the month were perhaps too high, but they reflected the current situation and what is needed to go back on the black," said a NWE converter Wednesday, adding: "April may not have been the best time to take such a step."
