Comments by market players on LLDPE Film C4 market as follows:
“We concluded deals for LLDPE Film C4 of US origin at $670/ton on LC at sight, CIF Indonesia main port basis. The deal is $30/ton lower than the initial offer level and the shipment is directly from the U.S. Offers for the same product from a Saudi producer stand at $700/ton with the same payment and delivery term. LLDPE Film C4 offers from Middle Eastern producers will not drop to below $650/ton as the producer will prefer shutting the plants to selling at such a low level,” an Indonesian converter commented to SSESSMENTS.COM.

However, a Qatari PE producer plans to increase LLDPE Film C4 offers as the producer’s offers were considered too low.
