Polyethylene trading slowed from the strong September start seen just a week earlier though a typical volume of resin still changed hands. Resellers selectively offered prime domestic railcars from their forecasted commitments while a steady flow of offgrade railcars and trucks were priced at nice discounts, which encouraged buying. Most PE commodity grades were down a half-cent, but LDPE and LLDPE Injection grades became a bit more available and relinquished some of their expanded premiums by lopping off a full cent. LL was our main mover of the week, spread between Film and Injection grades. LD Film also had a good showing on our marketplace, while fewer HD deals were done. Export requests remained strong, but buyer price expectations kept sliding due to competitive offers from Saudi and Chinese suppliers, challenging incremental reseller sales from the US. On the contract front, August PE was finally confirmed at a rollover, so there is technically a dime on the table as the Aug and Sept nickel nominations became stacked.

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.
