The lull in the middle Eastern and the Asian petrochemical market.

In Indonesia due to the Muslim fasting working hours of civil servants in Jakarta, the capital will be reduced by 1.5 hours.

On the market of polyolefins Indonesian converters do not buy goods with polyethylene from the Middle East, expecting delays because of Ramadan. Buyers are looking for goods only in the countries comprising the Association of South-East Asia, or in bonded warehouses in Singapore, Hong Kong or Vietnam.

Expectations that prices could fall even lower, forcing buyers from Southeast Asia to be moderate in the purchase of materials.

On the market of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) expect that the demand will fall, as construction slows in the middle East. Only last week, the market picked up somewhat, as some of the enterprise ordered the goods on the eve of Ramadan. The same thing happened on the market of polystyrene.
