A converter who received these offers from the producer commented, “Demand remains weak in Malaysia in line with the ongoing depreciation of the ringgit against the dollar. We are planning to secure our regular quantities for December.”
Another converter also stated, “We believe that prices still have room for additional decreases for the coming term. Hence, we are cautiously purchasing according to our immediate needs nowadays.”
