Indonesian Market Participants Cautious Despite New Stimulus Package
The Indonesian government announced on Wednesday that it would roll out an additional $2 billion stimulus package in the fourth quarter, aimed at spurring holiday spending. This comes on top of the $973 million disbursed last month, with the combined measures expected to benefit more than 100 million citizens.
Despite the move, market participants remain cautious. “We are staying conservative. While end-product demand has shown some improvement, new orders are still insufficient to lift market confidence,” said a local LLDPE roll converter. The source added that purchasing strategies remain prudent, as bearish sentiment across the region could continue to weigh on the Indonesian market heading into the year’s final quarter.

Widened LLDPE–LDPE Film Price Gap Keeps Vietnamese Buyers on Sidelines
Despite downward pressure from competitively priced US-origin LDPE film, Middle Eastern suppliers held firm on their offers to Vietnam this week. The move widened the price gap between LLDPE and LDPE film of the same origin to $190–200/ton, raising concerns among buyers and curbing interest in Middle Eastern LDPE cargoes.
“Middle Eastern LDPE film cargoes are unattractive at the moment. The prevailing prices are too high compared with LLDPE film, making them too risky,” a buyer said. The source noted that bids below $1,050/ton for Saudi LDPE film were rejected, prompting him to defer all new replenishment.
