A source from a domestic PP producer stated, “Prices witnessed some additional gains right before the holidays on firmer feedstock costs and higher PP futures prices on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Deals were scarce this week as most buyers have already left their desks for the holidays.” A distributor active in the domestic PP and PE markets reported, “We have not been active this week as there is very little buying interest right before the holidays. We plan to source only according to our needs after the holidays as we do not expect to see any real pick-up in demand.”
