Sun. Dec. 3rd, 2017- PIMI Reports- Tehran: The basic prices of petrochemical products today were announced like all other Sundays by the PDID Office of NPC. The prices are valid till Dec. 10th 2017.
The announced prices for polymers that have to be purchased only at the IME with special codes dedicated to industries that are the true polymer converters, shows an increase for almost all polymers due to influence of US$ exchange value increase at the Iranian FOREX market.
The highest increase was observed for general (GPS), expandable (EPS) and high impact resistant polystyrene (EPS) grades with 1444, 1322 and 1206 Rials, respectively. SBRs were next up by increasing to more than 1,144 rials.
Textile grade of PET also increased by 850 Rls., which is equivalent to more than two percent increase from other high-rise grades. The slightest increase was related to LDPE film grade with 29 Rls and HDPE extrusion grades of PE80 / EX3 with 30 Rls.
Other commodity groups also experienced price increases due to the US$ price increase. The price rise was something between 113 to 378 Rls. The low price increase for some grades was due to the global price declines which tolerated the value of US$ rase at this end.
The only commodity that was hit by the drop was the CRP100 of HDPE that is used for pipe production, which experienced a decrease of 52 Rls.
US$ Price
The dollar rate was based on the discovery rate of 41,128 Rials, which compared to the last week’s 40,976 Rials, increased by 152 Rls that is equaled 0.4%.
This brings upon a question, that is, how only 0.4% increase in the US$ exchange value can result in increases 0.3% up to 2.5% in the polymer prices by an office that is created to support the down stream industries?
The following tables shows the price differences for two consecutive days: Sat. Dec. 2nd and Sun. Dec. 3rd at the same time (15:30 pm) in free markets:
