This week, PVC Suspension grade prices in Asia moved higher, supported by firmer offers from a major Taiwanese producer for September shipments, while cautious buying interest and subdued demand limited the extent of the gains.
An industry source in Asia, on condition of anonymity, informed a Polymerupdate team member, "Asian PVC Suspension grade values found support this week following higher September offers from a leading Taiwanese producer, while firmer upstream ethylene costs added to the upward pressure. Elevated freight rates and logistical disruptions across the region may have further supported market sentiment. However, cautious buying interest and muted downstream demand appear to have limited the upside, with buyers remaining resistant to sharply higher price levels.”
