Prices of PE, PP Heading Up; PS, PVC Moving Down

摘要

Tight supplies and determined suppliers pushed PE prices up in September to the highest levels they've seen in six years. Entering the fourth quarter, PP prices were poised to go up substantially as monomer tightness resulted in high contract-price nominations for October. Meanwhile, PS prices dropped and were expected to drop farther, while PVC prices were expected to be on a flat-to-downward track. These reflect the observations of resin-pricing consultants from Resin Technology, Inc. (RTi), Fort Worth, Texas (resinpros.com) and CEO Michael Greenberg of The Plastics Exchange, Chicago (theplasticsexchange.com).
