Indonesian producer slashes local PP and PE offers

It is reported that a major local producer has announced fresh weekly PP and PE prices mostly at lower levels compared to the previous announcement. The reduction is a result of strengthening Rupiah against the US dollar while market sentiment continues to weaken ahead of the long Ramadan holiday.

Sources commented that the reduction might not be able to attract sufficient purchasing interest given the fact that many buyers would take off for holiday starting 31 May 2019.
“Meanwhile, distributors continue to offers very attractive prices, which might be more appealing to customers. We do not expect the demand to pick up strongly in the coming days,” a trader said.
