Just a week before the official inauguration of the 12th President of Iran (even the same name) the hopes return back to the market and all 3 indexes of demands, supply and trade volumes jumped up, may be to show that, a believer President to privatization can improve the market.
At the first week of August (in fact; July 29th-Aug. 5th, 2017), even the market showed a higher interest to buy polymer raw materials by an increase of about 25000 tons, but the suppliers only added their offers by about 5% and recorded an increase of about 2700 tons, both in comparison with the former week’s declines. At the same time, the trade volume increased by about 19% and recorder an increase of 8478 tons and passed the level up to more than 50ktons yet to go for the 70ktons level recorded months ago.
The highest supply recorded for HDPE blowing grade with an increase of 2402 tons, after which the LDPE film grades stood with 2230 tons followed by injection grades of HPDE.
Demands, as could be noticed at the table 2 has been recorded high for PET bottle grades with 14000 tons more demand in comparison with the former week, where, the fibre and textile grades of PP stood at the second row of highest demands. The amount recorded for this group was 17350 tons. Injection grade of PP occupied the 3rd row with 10700 tons.
Table 1 below shows the comparison for last two weeks, and the relative chart shows their relative figures for the last week. Table show summarizes demands for the most interesting materials at the market.
