European polypropylene: Weak
demand curtailsactivity■ Hand-to-mouth buying■ Length remains in the
marketThe European polypropylene markets saw limited activity in the
weekto Nov. 16.Demand across the PP markets remained week, with
buyerscontinuing a hand-to-mouth approach when purchasing. Marketparticipants
already had one eye on the year's end and caution overinventory levels at the
end of the year was heard to have furtherlimited buying activity.November demand
was heard to be lower than the levels seenin October, although one producer
said that November demandwas better than demand in August at the height of the
summerholiday season.Due to the continuation of limited demand, length remained
in theEuropean PP markets in the week, with no availability issues
heard,despite talk of reduced production rates.European Polypropylene Weekly
