Ethylene is a raw material for the production of polyethylene (PE).

According to the Price Review of ICIS-MRC , in Russia in the last week of December negotiations on January contract prices of polyethylene for the domestic market started.  For the most part, Russian producers prolonged the December level of HDPE prices for January supplies.

In the spot market, demand for LDPE was seriously reduced, many processors closed their deals for December supplies.  In the HDPE market demand was good during the week, some companies actively formed stocks for the first half of January.
