In the PVC market, several acetylene based producers reported lifting their export prices in line with better sales to the domestic market. “Domestic prices are moving up, so we raised our export offers accordingly. We are seeing limited interest from our overseas customers for now as they claim that there are competitive offers for conventional PVC available in the market,” a source at a domestic producer stated. A trader offering ethylene based PVC for export commented, “Acetylene based PVC producers have raised their prices by as much as $40/ton, so we are only offering ethylene based materials for now as we feel that acetylene based cargoes will struggle to compete.”
