- A Malaysian trader revealed to SSESSMENTS.COM that the company decided to adjust up local PE offers to match the price list from a local producer. From the trader’s end, offers for HDPE Film and LDPE Film stand between MYR3,960-4,180/ton ($932-984/ton) and MYR4,390-4,570/ton ($1,033-1,076/ton), respectively. While for LLDPE Film C4, the offers are available at MYR4,250/ton ($1,000/ton). All local offers are on 30 days credit term, FD Malaysia basis and excluding 6% SST. More added, PE supply from the trader’s end is limited, especially for LLDPE Film C4 cargoes. Due to tight supply, the trader received a positive response towards the current offers.
- In Indonesia, a global trading house adjusted down the offers for import Thai HDPE Film and LLDPE Film C4 by $10/ton compared to last week’s levels, citing the sluggish demand for PE resins. For Thai LDPE Film, SSESSMENTS.COM noted that the trader’s import offers were down by $20/ton as compared to the same period.
