Efforts to stem price erosion in May have been dashed and weak feedstock markets allied with softening demand now point to a an even further drop in June pricing. Trade Reports May 2012 Three commodity resin prices drop. Prices for three major commodity resins - polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC - have tumbled in May, as resin makers suddenly found themselves with too much of a good thing. The good thing in this case is ethylene feedstock. With several petrochemical crackers fixed up and back online, there's more ethylene - and propylene - available than at any point this year so far. Trade News May 2012 Prices for polyethylene slid another $.02/lb; the market is now down $.08/lb over the past 6 weeks. Falling energy and feedstock costs have contributed to the negative sentiment gripping the market. Resin producers have offered to drop May contracts by $.04/lb and in the meantime have been generally willing to meet lower-priced competitive situations. Domestic purchasing

Market Update & Summary May 29th 2012: Spot resin trading activity was good, lower prices were welcomed by buyers filling in supply gaps from the inventory drawdown while awaiting this price relief. Although transactions were many, volumes remain small as the general consensus is that the market will continue to ease. Average Polyethylene prices shed another $.02/lb; continued spot weakness leads some to believe that May contracts, although offered by producers down $.04/lb, could ultimately settle with a larger discount. May Polypropylene contracts settled down $.10/lb along with PGP; however, spot Polypropylene prices dropped another $.04/lb this past week, catching up to the break in the spot Propylene monomer market. The recent trend of lower Crude Oil and higher Natural Gas prices remains intact. July Crude Oil futures, which are rolling to the front month, dropped $4.69/bbl to $91.80/bbl, the lowest in about 6 months. July Natural Gas prices rallied $.233/mmBtu to e

Polyethylene prices shed $.02/lb, which brings the rolling 30-day loss to $.06/lb. The break comes amid ample material availability, quickly falling monomer prices and lower contract prices. Despite tight feedstock supplies and high spot costs, producers ran reactors above 90% in April, which proved way too much considering the lowest domestic demand in 2 years and while exports are the worst since Jan 2009.

Efforts to implement even part of the $.07/lb Polyethylene increase in May have already been dashed weak feedstock markets now point to a steep drop in May pricing. Trade Reports May 2012 After first quarter increases and a steady month of April, resin buyers are eyeing falling markets and are looking to share in upstream cost savings.
