According to market sources, the rebound in HDPE offers might be a result of the reduced inventories pressure following an active export activity over the past weeks. However, buyers are showing no rush to make replenishment.
“End product businesses remain very sluggish due to the COVID-19 related lockdown. In the meantime, local traders are selling well below the price list, therefore, we do expect the producer to reduce prices further in order to attract deals,” a buyer said.
