This week's South Asian PP raffia assessment is $1,090 per tonne, down $40 (3.54%) on the week and down from around $1,305 in early June. Brent crude moved the other way, rising 5.41% to $78 per barrel (When this article was updated).

The split is a matter of timing. Raffia is still working off June's crude weakness, and a sustained move in oil reaches polymer offers only a week or two later. This week's cut reflects where crude was, while Brent is already responding to fresh news: renewed US and Iran strikes over the weekend have cast doubt on the Strait of Hormuz reopening, pulling some war premium back into oil.

For buyers, the steep June falls are largely spent. If crude holds these gains, the run of falling raffia numbers should lose momentum and $1,090 may prove close to a local floor. If the Gulf calms and oil slides again, raffia has further to fall. With an enquiry open, it is a fair moment to check where a supplier sits against $1,090. Further out, watch the weekly print, as the next move looks closer to a coin toss.
