But the hype in connection with this factor on the market was not.  On the Russian LDPE market, the limited supply of the 108th LDPE has been maintained since the end of May, but there is no rush in this regard.  This polyethylene continues to gradually go up, and this factor also does not stimulate demand.  In other segments of LDPE, on the contrary, an excess of supply remains, and some sellers continue to lower their prices.  The greatest surplus is observed in the PE segment for the production of shrink films.
