- A trader who is also a converter based in Vietnam informed SSESSMENTS.COM on receiving import offers for PP Homo Raffia of Thailand origin with a remarkable adjustment. As compared to a fortnight ago, the latest offers were skyrocketed by $80/ton, currently at $950/ton on LC at sight, CIF Vietnam Main Port basis. Meanwhile, import offers for PP Homo Raffia of China origin are firm at $960/ton on the same payment and delivery term. Considering the high prices, the trader decided to skip purchasing import cargoes this week. Besides, the trader is still in contract with one of the local producers, as such, the cargoes from the producer itself should be enough for their production needs for a while. Furthermore, the trader added that the current uptrend is only caused by the firm energy market, so they are not sure about its sustainability. Demand-wise, orders from customers are still coming in as of recent.
