Market sources indicated that the recent depreciation of the Rupiah against the US dollar has contributed to the upward movement in the local market. Additionally, concerns about rising shipping costs and delays in import arrivals have exerted further upward pressure on prices.
However, these price increases have not been well received by customers. According to a trader, buyers are holding back on new purchases, anticipating lower prices in July following significant reductions in contract pricing set by the producer for the third quarter.
Furthermore, Indonesian buyers generally expect local supply to improve, supported by the restart of Chandra Asri’s petrochemical complex after a major maintenance shutdown.
In contrast, spot PP and PE offers in the distribution market have shown a stable to softer trend, widening the price gap with the producer’s official price lists. Market observers believe that the aggressive price hikes by the producer may prove to be unsustainable in the current market environment.
