Polyvinyl Chloride Latin America

摘要

Pricing in Brazil’s PVC import market fell $15/mt week on week, assessed Wednesday at $910-$920/mt CFR Brazil, amid weak demand in the construction sector. Multiple market participants said Europe was not having material to export to Brazil, leaving Asia and the regional producers to tend to the market.”Our PVC demand in Brazil dropped roughly 30%-40% [year-to-date versus the previous year], so it is difficult to sell product at the moment,” a Brazilianbased distributor said of his orders. Sources said that because of production issues in Europe, some prices were being talked higher, but that “there is no way to sell material at $940/mt CFR levels — it is too high,” the distributor said. Asian offers to Brazil were heard at $920/mt CIF Brazil.
