A fresh offer for US-origin linear low-density polyethylene film has surfaced in the West Coast South America market, according to trade sources. A contact told a team member that a US-based trader is heard to have placed material at USD 870 per metric ton on a CFR main port basis. The shipment is understood to be scheduled for October 2025.
The offer has drawn attention from regional buyers, many of whom remain cautious amid weak demand and an oversupplied environment. Market participants noted that while the level reflects current competitive pricing trends, buyers are likely to weigh the deal against expectations of further softness in the weeks ahead. Sellers, meanwhile, are aiming to secure volumes early as uncertainty over October pricing persists across global LLDPE markets.
With international flows continuing to shape sentiment in Latin America, the latest offer underscores how US-origin cargoes remain a prominent factor in supply discussions, particularly along the West Coast where import reliance is strong.
