Compared to other markets in the region, Indonesia is in a unique position where buying interest for PP is seemingly much stronger than PE at the moment. Several trading houses told CommoPlast of the lack of inquiries for spot HDPE and LLDPE film and many buyers would opt for further delivery schedules cargoes at more competitive prices.

“We have stocked up comfortably and are in no rush to make additional spot purchases. We were offered HDPE and LLDPE film parcels for September delivery at IDR 16,500,000/ton excluding VAT. We are in negotiation with the trader to obtain additional discounts,” said, a packaging converter.

Meanwhile, the PP sector continues to perform better backed by the curtailed availability of ready stock cargoes in the domestic market. In fact, many traders here could only supply homo-PP yarn and thermoforming for September delivery the soonest.

“We could even move PP film without much hassle. Small-scale buyers are staying away from intense haggling aware of the limited supply for the grade,” a trader added.
