Total inventories at Sinopec and CNPC’s warehouses digested another 25,000 tons from the previous trading day to 610,000 tons as on 26 December 2018.
Domestic producers decided to offer some discounts on LLDPE film in Northern China market as the restart at some local plants after the scheduled maintenance shutdown is easing supply locally. Players are on the watch-out mode, hoping to see some pre-holiday replenishment activities. For now, market movement is rather slow and customers only place small order to satisfy immediate needs.
