Access comprehensive technical and fundamental analysis for global plastics markets, along with incisive commentary from our team of analysts.
Plastics have transformed everyday life — their impact on most manufacturing, wholesaling, and retailing processes have grown exponentially in recent decades. But resins and most crude oil byproducts are vulnerable to significant price fluctuations. StoneX Market Intelligence arms businesses in the plastics markets with the insights and tools they need to understand the plastics markets better, make more informed purchasing decisions, and protect their profit margins from price volatility.
The StoneX Plastics Team offers two types of market insight on polyethylene and polypropylene resins in the US. The Weekly Brief Plastics Video Update is a 3-4 minute market report that features StoneX Plastics Analyst, Howard Rappaport. Howard is a veteran chemical industry executive and consultant with decades of supply chain management. Drawing on his 40 years of experience in the industry, Howard provides a near-term outlook on potential price movement.
The Bi-Weekly Plastics Report is Howard’s written overview of the market, with the added insight of Alex Hodes, Energy Analyst.
Both the Weekly Report and the Video Updates outline key drivers and dynamics that influence cash costs and market prices, including supply and demand, trade activity, inventory levels and feedstock conditions.
Access global supply and demand information, plus fundamental market commentary across all of the commodities we cover – including energy, metals, grains, softs, dairy and more -- plus premium content reserved for only our trading customers. Sourced directly from our analysts and trading professionals, this package aims to go beyond information to deliver decisive market advantages.
