North American prices for polypropylene and PVC resins continued to drop in November, while polystyrene saw a surprising increase. PP dropped 2 cents for the month. Prices for polymer-grade propylene (PGP) feedstock actually were up 1 cent, but buyers were able to take back 3 cents of margin, resulting in the 2-cent downward move on resin. PP prices had dropped 15 cents in October, as PGP made a very late downward settlement and producers lost some margin.
