Show Notes
Despite a September inventory draw, North American resin markets remain oversupplied and weak. Producers are testing increases, but fundamentals say otherwise.
Highlights
• Polyethylene draw of 336M lbs but still +400M YoY – demand soft.
• Polypropylene contracts tracking –4 to –5¢ as PGP costs collapse.
• Polystyrene, ABS, PC, PVC – stable to lower pricing.
• PET still flat with weak demand and feedstock declines.
Key Takeaway: Buyers remain in the driver’s seat as suppliers destock before year-end. Now’s the time to benchmark your pricing and capture margin back.
