Sources said that the local PE market has been dwindling for too long while PP prices are now facing stiff resistance from the market, hence, the unsynchronized hikes.

“Buyers have mostly completed the replenishment earlier last week and show little interest in the new prices. The market is at a multi-year high while converters are still unable to transfer the costs to end-product selling prices. Trading activities might reach a standstill this week,” a market source commented.
