Linear Low Density Polyethylene United States

摘要

There were growing expectations that linear-low density polyethylene domestic contracts would increase for May, with multiple sources saying producers would likely be able to implement the 5 cents/lb increases announced for the month. May sales were talked strong — continuing a threemonth stretch of above-average sales for the season — and little, if any, spot resin was available from producers, sources said. “In the last 10 days, suppliers have gotten demanding,” a distributor source said, suggesting the 5 cents/lb increase would happen. April contracts were assessed at 66-67 cents/lb ($1,455-$1,477/mt) after holding steady for the second consecutive month. The market has not seen a monthly increase since September, with prices falling by a total of 16 cents/lb since that time.
