RESIN BUYING TIP OF THE MONTH

March: Polyethylene Price Increase
Polyethylene prices are up for the short term, based on ethylene supply contraint and low polymer inventories. Keep an eye on feedstocks and watch the spot ethylene market for the first sign of supply improvements. If spot prices fall, supply is on the upswing. Buy as little as needed now as prices will moderate within two months.
