The Plastic Resin Buyer Brief

PE inventories are at 46 days of supply. PP exports collapsed 17.6% in May. INEOS is permanently closing 400,000 metric tons per year of PS capacity in Illinois. Caprolactam dropped over $136/mt in a week. Crude oil fell nearly $5/bbl.

And somewhere in all of this, the World Cup is selling out bars.

This week's episode connects the dots between the summer plastics demand story — beverages, pool season, construction, stadium packaging — and the supply overhang that's making this one of the most buyer-favorable resin markets in recent memory.

Michael Workman walks through all nine resin markets covered in this week's driver reports and lands on the three things buyers should do before the July 4th slowdown erases four days of negotiating calendar.
