据石化新闻2020年7月15日休斯敦报道，陶氏化学公司和雪佛龙菲利普斯化学公司计划从8月1日起将其在美国销售的聚乙烯（PE）树脂的价格每磅提高5美分，两家公司在7月14日和7月15日分别向客户传达了他们的提价决定。

新的PE树脂价格是在此前宣布的7月1日起在美国销售的所有PE树脂价格每磅上调5美的基础上再次上调的。

记者未能立即联系到这两家化工巨头就拟议中的提价一事的置评。

市场参与者已经确认，过去几个月来，生产商一直试图从疫情大流行的影响中恢复过来，从而推动价格的上涨。

尽管陶氏化学和雪佛龙菲利普斯已宣布上调8月份的PE树脂价格，但市场消息人士仍不确定这些价格能否成功。

一名PE 交易商说：“我认为我们将很快陷入僵局。”

Dow Chemical, Chevron Phillips to raise US August PE prices by 5 cents/lb

Dow Chemical and Chevron Phillips Chemical plan to implement 5 cent/lb increases for their polyethylene resins sold in the US as of Aug. 1, the companies have told customers in respective July 14 and July 15 letters seen by S&P Global Platts.

The new cost will be in addition to the previously announced price increases of 5 cents/lb for all PE resins sold in the US, effective July 1.

The companies were not immediately available for comment on the proposed increase.

Market participants have acknowledged a price increase push from producers over the past few months as producers try to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, which pushed pricing to record lows.

Although Dow and Chevron Phillips have announced higher pricing for August, market sources are uncertain if these prices can succeed.

"I think we are going to hit a brick wall pretty soon," one trader said.
