High-Density Polyethylene:Latin America

摘要

The market for HDPE grades remains calm amid increases and decreases in key South American countries. Many sources are still in Germany participating in the International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber, from 16 to 23 October 2013 in Dusseldorf. The sentiment heard from traders and buyers is that prices will come down soon or later. “So it is better let it happen first, before buying material,” a Brazilian trader said. In Peru, blowmolding dropped $25/mt, assessed on Wednesday at $1,575-$1,585 /mt CFR Peru. An offer from South Korea was heard at $1,590/mt CFR Peru, for volumes of 100 mt, while the US was heard offering material at $1,620/ mt CFR Peru, for similar volume.
