Sources said that local demand in both PP and PE sector would only follow the softening path in the coming days due to the dual impact from the COVID-19 outbreak and the fasting month.
Meanwhile, the distribution market is providing better bargains for buyers, from which a number of deals for homo-PP have already been concluded in the range of IDR12,500,000-12,800,000/ton without VAT ($788-807/ton) in the late last week.
“At this pace, the producer might opt to export more quantity in the coming week given the uptick in demand condition in China market,” a local trader added.
