THE PLASTICS EXCHANGE – MAY 14, 2021 The spot resin markets were a tad slower this past week, our completed volumes were still well ahead of year ago levels, which was amid the Covid market trough, but only ran around the elevated average that we have experienced so far during 2021. The activity is nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about either. We have seen this type of ebb and flow action the past couple of months as demand fluctuates between a cautious pause and then another surge. The supply situation has not changed much either as most producers remain under Force Majeure and / or only providing limited contract volumes per allocations. Spot Polyethylene and Polypropylene prices were widely mixed by grade, most materials have held their steep spot premiums while some grades have become more available and unable to hold peak price levels. Producer direct Polyethylene exports continue to flow, but relatively few offers have been shown to the exporter community as supplies remain snug and the vast majority of Prime resin is used to fill contract orders. Those limited incremental export offers have generally been priced out of reach of international buyers. Logistics issues and soaring freight rates, both ocean and domestic trucking, have added to delivered resin costs.

Polyethylene trading was good, but not great, activity has generally been hampered by limited supplies that have not yet recovered from the series of production issues that have plagued the North American plastics industry. While most plants have been back up and running, some reactors are still having production issues, so spot supplies are still super snug. Most Prime resins were hard to source, though a decent flow of offgrade has continued. HDPE for blow molding has remained the shortest material, another round of eager buyers grabbed every pellet that appeared, those prices jumped a solid $.04/lb. Blow Molding is the only PE grade that we have seen significant imports come to help close the supply shortfall. Quite to the contrary, HMW for film has become a bit loose as competitive offers from overseas have usurped many potential export orders, this resin chunked off a hefty $.04/lb this past week. The rest of the commodity PE materials including LDPE Clarity, LLDPE Hexene, MDPE Rotomolding, HDPE high flow, LLDPE injection and granular, each added $.01-.02/lb as general tightness remained. Producers should ink their $.05-.06/lb price increase for May contracts and some have another increase nominated for June. Polyethylene prices have disconnected from Ethylene costs, which decreased $.07/lb this past week and have dropped a huge 33% since May began. The Polypropylene market has bucked its interim softness and has returned higher as supplies remain very tight and rapidly rising monomer costs foretell a sharp increase in May contracts. Prime railcars are still generally absent from the spot market, but we saw a fairly steady flow of offgrade PP railcars, with a good range of quality from rough offgrade transitional resin all the way up to near prime material; Homopolymer was again more available than Copolymer. There was some consolidation in pricing as the lower end of the spectrum cleaned up and in an ultra-rare occurrence, average HoPP prices slid a cent, while CoPP resins rose. A significant amount of PP imports have been reaching the US shores, but most have been presold, though additional cargoes are making their way across the seas to help satisfy demand. Spot PGP has maintained its rally back in to the mid-$.70s/lb, and if prices continue to hold, we expect May contracts

HDPE Blow Molding 1 Year

Page 5: May 20, 2021

to jump between $.15-.20/lb, and we would not be surprised to see producers awarded an additional margin enhancing increase, so there is a very good chance that May PP contracts will see an increase in the vicinity of $.20/lb. We have been firm in our conviction that spot material would remain tight and we are still fairly bullish both Polyethylene and Polypropylene prices. The North American resin market has seen ongoing production disruptions, which have helped maintain the extraordinary supply / demand imbalance. While the gap has been closing over time, additional hiccups have come to challenge the return to normalcy. We are not out of the woods yet and must advise early that the hurricane season, which officially begins in June, is forecast to be heavy and could again prove to be problematic.

May 20, 2021 Got Flour? When we talk “flour,” we are talking about wheat flour. Because wheat is the most commonly distributed cereal grain in the world, a reference to flour is generally a reference to wheat flour.

And just as flour is not “just flour,” wheat is not “just wheat.” Wheat can be classified by three major categories: growing season (winter, spring), kernel hardness (hard, soft) and bran color (red, white). These categories have a significant impact on the functionality of the finished flour.

Over the next few weeks, we will be discussing each of these categories more in depth.

The market seemed to lack direction on Monday with beans ending stable, meal weaker, and oil mostly supported, albeit with the bulk of the strength occurring mainly in old crop contracts (July posted gains over 2%) and new crop and into cal 2022 trading closer to unchanged or slightly negative. NOPA report was released yesterday and showed a US crush number for April below market expectation at 160.310mbu (VS 168.741mbu). This number is down VS last month (177.984mbu) and below April 2020 level (171.754mbu). Bean oil futures found some support as bean oil stocks came out close to the lower range of market expectations

Soyoil Soybeans Soymeal Palm Oil 20 higher 6 lower 2 lower 213 high

Page 17: May 20, 2021

Soybean Oil: US planting progress showed a corn number close to the lower range of market expectations while beans came out slightly above expectations. Plantings for soybeans is 61% complete which is well in advance VS the 5-years average at 37%. Muyuan Foods Co Ltd, one of the largest pig producers in China, said it only used 9.8% of SBM in its feed last year which is below the national average of 18%. As a reminder, the Chinese government recently sent guidelines to feed producers to use alternative protein sources to feed animals and reduce the country dependency on soybeans imports. Palm Oil: Huge trading session last night as BMD closed up MYR 213. CBOT was the driving force as SBO closed up +100pts in overnight trading. China stepping in with purchase of 8-10 vessels for Oct despite parities being negative. Other destinations quiet on the overnight, India continues to stay out of the cash market amid its most recent COVID-19 outbreak and deeply negative import margins.

Near term forecast calls for a fairly quiet start to the week with a turn towards a more active pattern in the back half of the week with scattered showers and storms in the back drop of warmer temps. Longer term forecast suggests that the more active pattern seen at the end of the 1-5 day window will continue and eventually weaken out. It will remain warm across the Midwest (especially ECB) with widespread upper 70°Fs and 80°Fs expected. Drier weather will continue in the ECB due to this ridge of high pressure in place. Scattered storms expected in the central plains with the biggest opportunity of rain to be in the western/northwestern Midwest, Dakotas and southeastern Prairies which will be very welcomed to ward off further drought creep from the far west.

BEEF MARKET Record beef packer margins continue with estimates near $900 per head (that is a big reason for the above inquiry). The harvest did not meet industry expectations last week leaving the boxed beef market under supplied again. The fed harvest ideally would be in the 520k range weekly to satisfy demand, but last week only saw approximately 510k harvested. This week hopefully we will be closer to the needed level. Overall, when looking at recent cattle harvest rates, packers are processing 10,000-15,000 fewer cattle per week when compared to 2019. Layer in robust foodservice/retail demand for beef and it is clear to see why the boxed beef market is short of current demand. As for now, outside cuts are counter seasonally strong and in short supply for a couple of reasons. First, imported lean meat is very much in demand and prices are high. Grinders are looking domestically for lean grinding materials and have turned to whole muscle outside cuts. In addition, retailers pivoted to outside cuts after middle meats skyrocketed this spring in hopes of finding some price points that made sense to feature. Middle meats, specifically ribs and tenders (especially select grade) are still very hard to find.

• Rounds – steady/higher • Chucks –steady/higher • Ribs – steady/higher • Loins –steady/higher • Grinds- steady/higher

PORK Availability remains very tight on many items within the pork complex as robust demand and curtailed production keep prices high and availability low. Hogs are still very expensive and packer margins are low which is the exact opposite of what is going on in the beef complex. Ribs, backribs and bnls butts remain very hard to find. For the near-term Memorial Day demand is expected to keep prices firm across all items. Bellies and ribs are supported on smaller harvest levels and limited freezer stocks. Most analysts expect availability issues and high prices to continue well into summer.

• Butts –higher • Ribs – higher • Trimmings – steady • Loins – steady • Bellies – steady • Hams – steady/higher

May 20, 2021 Click here to watch a video update on China’s seafood market brought to you by Tradex. Pollock Demand for DS and PBO blk remain very strong. Prices will continue to move up as market remains in short supply. IQF fillet production is also very limited due labor constraints in Alaska impacting production capabilities unfavorably. Market will remain short on IQF fillets for the coming month and prices will continue to move up as supply is limited. Cod The market remains strong for Wild Alaska cod fillets and single frozen portions. Supply continues to be limited on raw materials for VA production and commodity shatter pack cod fillets. We are also still seeing supply constraints on twice frozen loins and portions from China due to post CNY build up and slow return of workforce and shipping challenges. Look for prices to continue to move up as demand increases.

Rockfish Good inventory on all sizes of fillets.

Flounder All sizes of fillets are tight going into Spring 2021 fishery Halibut Domestic inventories on frozen Halibut fletch and H&G fish are very limited. Look for prices to remain firm and move up despite the quota increase in 2021. Early fish is primarily all going into fresh market, so expect a slow supply line fill on frozen raw material needs.
