Low Density Polyethylene Latin America

摘要

LDPE Platts assessments didn't have any movement this week with Asia offering September with small price increases of $20-30/mt to Latin America and Latin producers deciding what to do on the export side. A source at the Brazilian resin producer Braskem said this week that the company was studying the petroleum price movements in the US and Europe and analyzing other factors to list September offer prices for the export market. During August, Braskem was offering to Peru and Ecuador at $1,760/mt CFR while, to Colombia, the offer was at $1,780/mt CFR. A source in Peru said the US LDPE offers for September started to arrive in the country at $1,760/mt CFR, but they were still waiting for more offers from different countries this week. "We have inventories now but if we decide to buy the US offer could be attractive," said the Peruvian buyer. September Asian offers going to Brazil and other countries in the Mercosur were heard at $1,800/mt CFR for film with low availability.
