Market sources said that weak demand and the constantly falling import market overshadowed the tightening local supply outlook. As reported late last week that deals for non-dutiable Vietnamese homo-PP were reached at $950/ton CIF Indonesia – much more competitive than local materials despite the exchange rates.
“Without the downward adjustment, buyers would flock to the import market. The development is very much expected because the demand is not strong enough to support a rebound,” a trader added.
