Over the past week, a number of previously purchased imported cargoes have arrived at the market, however, the impact on the spot supply remained insignificant as most of these quantities have already been pre-booked. Sources said the continued lack of ready-stock cargoes is the main factor supporting the firm price decisions from the producer at the moment.

 

“Even the PE packaging sector started entering a downcycle. In the Jabodetabek area, converters are even re-selling on-hand HDPE film stocks. To make matters worse, traders are offering locally held Malaysian HDPE and LLDPE film at discounted levels. Our sales results are discouraging this week,” a trader complained.
