The Polyethylene market was busy right up through the end of October and the swift trading continued as the calendar flipped. Completed volumes for the week were strong though a bit below the exceptional amount completed the previous week. The vast majority of our PE transactions were Prime and our major mover on the week was for LDPE, both film and injection grades, followed by HDPE for blow molding and then injection and finally LLDPE for film and injection. International demand was healthy and some producers continued to lower export PE prices to remain competitive with offers from other regions, particularly from China as their freight softened further. Spot prime prices in the domestic market held steady and pumped the brakes on the decline seen during October when our prime grades slid an average of $.03/lb. Despite the lack of movement in pricing, producers still have their work cut out for them with high upstream inventories weighing on the market amid softer export pricing. On the contract front, increases have been pushed out again to November and October was moving closer to a 3-cent decrease despite producers' best efforts to keep prices from officially dropping. Market conditions could change if any of the Atlantic / Caribbean weather disturbances develops and impacts resin production.

Have questions? We have answers!
How much resin is generally available?
We normally see about 10-25 million lbs of spot resin each week, but occasionally, in very loose markets, have had more than 50 million lbs offered on the spot floor.
Can I buy a Specific Brand from The Plastics Exchange?
We do not sell branded prime, but can generally get you a Generic Prime substitute to fit your needs. If you do require a specific brand, you need to maintain your current supply channel, be it though a Distributor or Producer direct.
