High-Density Polyethylene: Latin America

摘要

Brazilian high-density polyethylene film import prices dropped $35/mt week on week, assessed Wednesday at $1,570-1,580/mt CFR Brazil. A Chinese offer for a 100mt cargo was heard at $1,590 CFR Brazil, but it was not used as part of the assessment because it did not meet Platts’ methodology specifications for minimum volume. “These prices are indicative that China may sell to Brazil as re-export product. The gap between [the] US and China is increasing, because in China the prices keep falling week on week,” a Brazilian trader said, adding that a notional level for a 200- mt volume and above would be up to $1,580/mt CFR Brazil.
