(ICIS) -- US June contract prices for
polyethylene (PE) fell between 4-6%, depending on the grade, based on weak
demand and downward pressure from global markets, sources said on
Thursday. Producers announced price reductions of between 2-3 cents/lb (USD
44-66/tonne, EUR 30-46/tonne) for high density PE (HDPE) grades, 4 cents/lb for
linear low density PE (LLDPE) grades and between 4-6 cents/lb for low density PE
(LDPE), sources said.
With the reduction, prices for LLDPE butene film were at 74-77 cents/lb
DEL (delivered), LDPE film prices were at 84-86 cents/lb DEL and HDPE blow
molding prices were at 72-74 cents/lb DEL, for small-volume buyers, as assessed
by ICIS.
