    Spot prices for Russian LDPE declined in December due to weak demand and excess supply, according to the MRC price report
    .

    The price of HDPE also fell sharply
    .

    The first cut in PE grade prices is in 2021
    .

    In the case of LDPE, the price of 108-grade PE has dropped to 154,000-156,000 rubles/t ($2,104-2,131/t) CPT Moscow including tax
    .
    The price of 158 LDPE offered by some suppliers is also at this level

    .

    After Russian producers ended their overhauls in mid-October, the market became oversupplied and LDPE began to fall in December
    .

    Demand in the spot market is also reduced by high prices and will continue
    .

    The demand for LDPE by many medium and large processors has been met in annual contracts and no longer needs to be purchased in the spot market
    .

    Smaller processors have problems with working capital and demand for finished products has weakened
    .

    The price of film-grade HDPE has also started to fall after several months of increases
    .

    By mid-December, spot prices had fallen to Rs 148,000 to Rs 150,000/t, including tax
    .

    Film grade HDPE is the most price-sensitive PE grade
    .

    In other PE consumption links, there is also a slight surplus, but this factor is not so critical
    .
