High-Density Polyethylene : Asia

摘要

High density polyethylene prices were mixed this week. High density polyethylene film grade was assessed at $1,419/mt CFR Far East Asia Wednesday, up $4/mt week on week, while in Southeast Asia, it slipped $5/mt over the same period to be assessed at $1,450/mt CFR. In South Asia, it was assessed at $1,490/mt CFR, down $8/mt. In China, HDPE-film prices increased as key producers started to offer April cargoes at the end of last week. Middle Eastern producers were offering cargoes at $1,430-1,480/mt CFR China, while naphtha-based Asian producers were offering in excess of $1,500/mt CFR China. This left buyers few options for lower priced cargoes.
