Prime Polyethylene transactions dominated our spot resin market and prices gained ground for the second straight week. Deal volumes for PE grades were nicely above average, as prices gained another half-cent. LLDPE was our major mover, followed closely by LDPE grades and then HDPE. The market was largely starved of supply the past few weeks while packaging and rail delays added another level of complexity, bringing numerous requirements for quick domestic shipments to fill in supply gaps. Prime PE resin was also highly sought from international buyers amid strong demand from China, LatAm and Africa. Rising Crude oil and international feedstock costs, as well as escalating freight from Asia is supporting moderately higher regional PE prices, though some buyers were still resisting. Polyethylene exports were massive in December, likely a record, and the industry is dealing with a myriad of logistics issues. By Friday, following news that the dockworker strike had been averted, demand spiked further. Producers seem content with their heavy 4Q sales and are intent on raising prices in both the domestic and export markets. Domestic prime asking prices generally reflect the $.05-.07/lb contract increases on the table for Jan, and meeting resistance at those levels, but in the meantime, spot prices are being successfully walked higher.

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.
