Malaysian buyers remain cautious, especially those in the PP market as they have stocked up comfortable inventory in October to prepare for the Lunar New Year festive season.
“The demand might further deteriorate in December because it is too close to Lunar New Year, and buyers refrain from keeping high stocks ahead of the year-end closing. Besides, the macro-economic condition is not strong,” a trader commented.
