Platts to consolidate its US polyethylene commentaries

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will consolidate its US HDPE (PCA1530), LDPE (PCA1562) and LLDPE commentaries (PCA1564) into a single US Polyethylene commentary, effective May 28, 2025.

With this change, Platts aims to provide a holistic overview of developments in the whole US polyethylene market in a single commentary, creating a better reading experience for customers. This change will mirror the existing format of the Platts polyethylene market commentaries globally.

The combined weekly commentary will be published on PCA1562, while PCA1530 and PCA1562 will be discontinued.

There will be no changes to the US HDPE (PCA1531), LDPE (PCA1563) and LLDPE rationales (PCA1565) that will continue to be published individually.

The index of all published PCA pages can be found on PCA0010.
