The initial response from the market is not very positive. Buyers are comparing the latest offers from the producer with local and other cargoes, which apparently are more competitive.
Several buyers have expressed the buy ideas for LDPE film at the same price level the producer concluded in the nearby Vietnam market at $950-960/ton CIF, LC AS term.
“Meanwhile, we think that homo-PP cargoes must be moving closer to the $1000/ton threshold in order to attract buying interest. It is very difficult for us to accept the list price,” a buyer commented.
