Thai maker steps back on PE offers to China following steep resistance

Sources said that the adjusted prices remain unattractive and very limited number of deals have been achieved. Players, however, find non-dutiable LLDPE film originated from the Philippines more appealing at $770/ton CFR China term.

“Supply is limited, and even Middle Eastern suppliers are very firm on the prices. However, we have a good quantity arriving at the end of the month, hence prefer to adopt a more cautious stance,” a buyer added.
