United States Low Density Polyethylene

摘要

US high density polyethylene export activity was slow this week as sources said fresh offers were limited to begin the year, in part because producers were feeling little pressure to move large volumes beyond the domestic market. HDPE export pricing was assessed stable to firmer from December 16, with market participants noting that most offer levels had risen from late-December levels. HDPE blowmolding was assessed at $1,058-$1,080/mt (48-49 cents/lb) FAS Houston, steady from December 16. HDPE injection was assessed at $1,080-$1,102/mt, up $33/mt from December 16, as availability was heard limited. HDPE HMW film was assessed at $1,102-$1,124/mt, up $22/mt from December 16. Sources said offer levels were stable to mostly higher from late December.
