This week, PVC prices journeyed southward in Europe.
An industry source informed a Polymerupdate team member, “The price decline was driven by weak demand sentiment and ample supply, with lower ethylene feedstock costs adding further downward pressure. Market participants expect the current situation to continue through the rest of the year. Meanwhile, buying momentum has slowed, with many traders focused on clearing their inventories ahead of year-end.”
