Effective March 1, 2016, ExxonMobil Chemical Company will increase the price by $0.05 per pound on all HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, Exceed™ and Enable™ polyethylene resins that you purchase from ExxonMobil Chemical Company. This price increase replaces ExxonMobil Chemical Company’s previously announced price increase.
 "Polyethylene trading was busy; supply was high and although there was pricing gyration amongst grades, they averaged out steady."

"LLDPE Butene has been the weakest of the film grades, higher quality resins like Hexene, Octene and Metallocene, while amply available, have developed sizable premiums."

"Some producers are again positioning for a price increase in Feb, but if another $.02-.03/lb came out of contracts instead, we would not be surprised at all."
Trade News February 2016
"LLDPE supplies were generally plentiful, order flow was heavy and a high volume of material changed hands."

"Export prices in Houston continue to slide amid a demand lull, with Chinese New Year"
