Prices for Nearly All Volume Resins Down Flat pricing projected in fourth quarter for volume resins.

摘要

Volume resin prices,all of which eroded during much of the third quarter,were generally projected to be flat in the fourth quarter,except perhaps for downward pricing of PET and nylons 6 and 66.Major drivers include supply outstrip-own in some key markets such as automo-ping demand,a slowdown in some key markets such as automotive and construction,lower U.S.GDP,slowed global demand,and tariff-related issues.These are the views of purchasing consultants from Resin Technology,Inc.(RTi),senior editors from PetroChemWire(PCW),and CEO Michael Greenberg of The Plastics Exchange.
