- A global trading house contacted by SSESSMENTS.COM revealed that the latest offers for PP Homo Raffia from a Saudi producer rose from last week’s $950-960/ton to this week’s $990/ton on LC at sight, CIF Indonesia Main port basis. The producer sets the benchmark at $990/ton-level since they already manage to sell at this level to other markets. However, for Indonesia market, such a level is deemed unworkable. The trader tried to approach buyers with sell idea at $950/ton-level, but has yet to conclude any deals as most buyers’ buy idea is below the trader’s sell idea.
- In the Philippines, a trader reported to SSESSMENTS.COM that the latest offers for PP Homo Raffia from a local polyolefins producer remain stable from last week’s level. The offers are available at PHP64,000-65,000/ton ($1,300-1,320/ton) on cash, FD Philippines basis and including 12% VAT.
