Linear Low Density Polyethylene : United States

摘要

The spot export price decreased 1 cent/lb to 67.5-68.5 cents/lb FAS Houston. Deals were few, however, as demand was minimal. Buyers in Latin America also had lower cost options from other regions. Offers on the low end from Asia were at $1,460/mt FOB (66 cents/lb), and US producers were not ready to reduce offers despite a 3- cent/lb week on week drop in spot ethylene Wednesday to 65 cents/lb. There were also offers heard into Latin America at $1,580/mt CFR that seemed to be short-sell offers from traders anticipating lower prices from the US, Asia, or Middle East.
