History repeats.
In the resin market — like every commodity cycle before it — price resistance without justification never lasts.
This week, Michael breaks down why producers’ attempted increases across PE, PP, PS, PVC, ABS, PC, and PET don’t align with the data — and how buyers can use transparency to push back with confidence.
Highlights:
• PE: Proposed +3¢/lb for November lacks merit.
• PP: Feedstock PGP lowest since 2022.
• PS & ABS: Weak feedstocks, falling demand.
• PVC: Still sliding amid soft housing.
• PET: Tariff-driven bumps fading fast.
Key Takeaway:
History rewards those who push back with facts.
