Saudi major announces April PP, PE offers to Egypt
by ChemOrbis Editorial Team - content@chemorbis.com
In Egypt, initial April PP and PE offers were revealed with rollovers to increases from March in line with players’ expectations. However, players reported that the increase amounts exceeded their expectations given unsupportive demand.
A converter reported receiving new April PP and PE offers from a Saudi producer. According to the converter, the major raised its offers by $50-100/ton for PP grades while issuing rollovers to up to $50/ton increases for PE grades. HDPE pipe (PE 100) indicated a much larger increase of $100/ton from the previous month.
The converter argued that the new prices may see resistance from buyers amidst the weak sentiment in place, hence they are expecting discounts on deals from the Saudi major.
The Saudi major’s new PP and PE prices are now standing at $1280-1300/ton for homo PP raffia and inj., $1310-1330/ton for film, $1330-1350/ton for PP fibre and HDPE film, $1350-1370/ton for PPBC inj., at $1460-1480/ton for PPRC inj., at $1400-1420/ton for LLDPE film, $1430-1450/ton for LDPE film, at $1360-1380/ton for HDPE b/m, at $1400/ton for HDPE pipe (PE 100), all on CIF Egypt, 90 days deferred payment basis.
