PP holds firm as trading remains compressed

Domestic PP markets have entered a holding pattern, with prices showing little movement over recent assessments. Polypropylene closed the latest week at Rs 94.00/kg, unchanged from the previous week. Compared with levels seen a fortnight earlier, prices are marginally higher by around Rs 0.50/kg, but the increase has not altered the broader picture. The current environment highlights that Indian PP prices are moving within a narrow band, with limited daily volatility.

Looking at the month comparison, prices are slightly firmer than early December, when PP was trading closer to Rs 92.50/kg. This places current levels modestly above recent lows. Over a three-month horizon, however, the contrast is softer, as prices around last quarter were nearer Rs 98.50/kg. This longer-term comparison shows that while stability has returned, the broader trend has eased.

The wider trading range continues to frame market behaviour. Highs near Rs 102/kg and lows around Rs 90/kg define the current cycle. With PP now trading near the midpoint of this range, momentum appears muted. Support around Rs 90/kg and resistance near Rs 102/kg have both held without pressure, reinforcing the compressed structure.

PVC market pauses after recent softening

PVC prices in India were steady this week, offering a brief pause after several weeks of gradual decline. Indian PVC prices remained unchanged at Rs 65/kg, signalling that the recent downward adjustment may be losing momentum for now. Market participants noted a calmer tone, with buying and selling aligned around established benchmarks rather than pushing prices in either direction.

Over the past fortnight, prices have slipped by Rs 1/kg, while the one-month comparison reflects a Rs 2/kg reduction. The broader trend becomes clearer on a three-month view, where values are down by about Rs 5/kg from early October. On a six-month horizon, the shift from around Rs 70/kg to current levels highlights a sustained easing cycle rather than a sudden correction. Indian PVC prices are now clustered near the lower end of the recent trading band, contributing to a more stable short-term outlook.

Compared with the same period last year, PVC continues to trade at a significant discount, with the year-on-year gap close to Rs 14/kg. The annual high of roughly Rs 79/kg contrasts sharply with repeated tests of the Rs 65/kg level in recent weeks. PVC prices in India have shown reduced volatility in January, with daily movements remaining narrow and predictable.

LDPE trades steady weekly as broader comparisons stay softer

LDPE values in India closed the latest week unchanged, offering a calm short-term picture despite a softer medium-term backdrop. Indian LDPE prices were assessed at Rs 110/kg on January 2, flat versus the previous week. Trading activity remained measured, with prices holding close to the lower end of the recent range near Rs 110/kg, while the recent high was around Rs 113/kg.

Shorter comparisons highlight the loss of earlier ground. Two weeks ago, LDPE was priced at Rs 112/kg, which places the current level down Rs 2/kg on a fortnight basis. The month view shows a wider adjustment, with the market at Rs 113/kg around 30 days earlier, translating into a Rs 3/kg decline over the past month. Longer-term anchors underline the softer trend: the three-month reference was Rs 118/kg, marking an Rs 8/kg drop versus that period, while the six-month comparison sits at Rs 117/kg. Year-on-year context also remains above current levels, with LDPE around Rs 120/kg on the comparable date last year. LDPE prices in India thus reflect near-term stability against weaker historical benchmarks, with support near Rs 110/kg and resistance around Rs 113/kg, LDPE, Polyethylene, Petrochemicals, Plastics Market, Polymer Prices, Weekly Trade, Market Update, Price Trend, Chemical Industry, Global Trade.
