Low Density Polyethylene Latin America

摘要

Latin American spot import prices were stable in Peru and lower in Brazil on Wednesday following talk of lowerpriced offers from key regions, sources said. Import assessments for low-density polyethylene were flat in Peru on week assessed Wednesday at $1,500-$1,510/mt CFR, amid stable US offers. US-origin material was heard mostly stable with offers trending in the low-$1,500s, sources said. Despite fewer offers from the US, sources said LDPE was readily available along the West Coast of South America. “Right now, we are seeing a lot of material in Peru,” a Lima-based buyer said. Market participants said that sellers were holding offers amid last week’s announcement of an increase of 5-cent/lb ($110/mt) for July for all grades of polyethylene from US producers.
