- Whereas in Thailand, at the end of last week, on July 24, a trader quoted lower offers for local cargoes to the domestic market. On a fortnight comparison, the trader initiated a price reduction of THB2,000/ton ($63/ton) for local PP Homo Raffia cargoes, available in the market at THB35,000/ton ($1,104/ton) on cash, FD Thailand basis and excluding 7% VAT. The move, however, has drawn negative responses from most buyers. Despite a huge drop in prices, most customers were reluctant to take the cargoes.
