RESIN BUYING TIP OF THE MONTH

MAY: Spot PP prices are being discounted
Soft demand has impacted the polypropylene market during a time when planned outages were expected to tighten supplies and cause monomer to rise. Although monomer prices are up, soft demand downstream has outweighed the impact of short supply. As PP inventories increase, spot prices are being discounted heavily to move product. Buy as needed and watch the spot PP price movement closely when making your next buying decision.
