PLATTS INTERNATIONAL MARKET COMMENTARY & ANALYSIS

PROPYLENE: The CFR Far East Asia propylene marker fell $10/mt week on week and $15/mt day on day to be
assessed at $1,375/mt Friday. Lower buying ideas pulled prices down this week due to expectations of rising
supply in China and cash-flow problems among some buyers, market participants said. Propylene offers were heard
at $1,390-1,405/mt CFR China, while buying ideas hovered around $1,370/mt CFR China. Trades for H2 September
arrival cargoes were heard concluded at $1,370-1,385/mt CFR East China, while deals were heard done on a CFR
North China basis were between $1,380/mt and 1,390/mt. The FOB Korea marker fell in line with CFR FEA, down
$10/mt from a week ago to be assessed at $1,325/mt. One trader said weak market sentiment in China has
dampened buying intentions for South Korean cargoes. "Even if they sell at $1,300/mt, I am not interested. It is
too risky because China [market] is dropping," he said. "Buyers are bidding lower and I need to sell," the same
source added. Some market participants said that some Chinese buyers are facing poor cash flow and sellers are
having trouble collecting payment. In related news, Zhejiang Satellite Energy has started commercial production of
propylene at its Pinghu propane dehydrogenation, or PDH, plant in China's northeast Zhejiang province, a company
source confirmed Friday but did not provide further details. Market sources said on-spec product was first produced
Wednesday or Thursday. "This sure will have a big impact on C3, especially when Southeast Asia remains long," an
end-user said. "Thailand has been selling this week." Thailand's Siam Cement Group and IRPC have each sold one
cargo around $1,270/mt "or lower" FOB Ma Ta Phut with a combined volume of at least 4,500 mt, according to
traders. One trader said early Friday that "propylene buyers [in China] are bidding lower now" amid news of
Satellite's propylene product passing qualification standards. "The market is dropping," he added. But another
trader saw no impact yet. "I think impact will be felt in October," the trader said. "Right now I assume the PDH
plant will not be running at full capacity, maybe 65-75% only." Satellite's PDH plant has a propylene production
capacity of 450,000 mt/year, and the company's downstream acrylic acid plant has a capacity of 480,000 mt/year.
Sanyuan Petrochemical is also set to produce on-spec propylene by H2 September at its 450,000 mt/year Shaoxing
propane dehydrogenation plant in Zhejiang province, according to a company source Friday. The PDH plant is still
currently undergoing test runs, the source added. The propyplene will be fed into its 600,000 mt/year integrated
polypropylene plant. Sanyuan will also continue to sell propylene to Chinese downstream manufacturers, the same
source added. Sanyuan Petrochemical has imported about 700,000 mt of propylene in 2013, the source said.
POLYPROPYLENE (PP): Asian polypropylene for the PP raffia grade was assessed flat week
on week at $1,500/mt CFR Far East Asia. Offers were heard at $1,510-1,530/mt CFR China.
There were no bids heard, but a notional deal level was heard at $1,510/mt CFR China on 90-
day letter of credit basis. "These days, the international spot market is weak. I don't think
deals can be concluded at large volumes, even with the low prices," a Chinese end-user said. A
trader said market participants were watching PP futures, which were falling. "PP prices for
September are slowly down and for October, sharply down," the Chinese end-user said. The
CFR Southeast Asia marker for the same grade sank $20/mt week on week to be assessed at
$1,530/mt Wednesday. A deal was heard concluded last week at $1,540/mt CFR Vietnam.
However, this was not a repeatable level this week, according to market participants. There
were no deals done during the week. Notional deal levels were heard at $1,530/mt CFR SEA.
"Market is very quiet, not much inquiry. Customers are worried prices will go down," a
Southeast Asian trader said. The South Asia marker for PP raffia was assessed slightly lower,
shedding $5/mt week on week at $1,560/mt CFR. Offers were heard between $1,565/mt and
$1,590/mt CFR South Asia. There were no bids heard. In India, a trader said he sold a cargo
late Tuesday at $1,580/mt. However, the buyer could not be verified, and the volume sold was
68 mt, below the Platts methodology, which assesses cargoes of 100-500 mt. "Buyers are
silent. There are no bids and people are just waiting for market to stabilize," a second market
source from India said. "At the moment there is no buying interest from customers," a trade
source from Pakistan said. "People are looking at Chinese prices and will be looking at $1,535-
1,540/mt [CFR Pakistan]. That is down from $1,560 [buy idea] when CFR China [marker] was
at $1,540/mt level," the same source added.

CRISIL Research Macroeconomics & Currency Monthly Analysis







OVERVIEW: Monsoon enters crucial phase

In J une, the first month of the monsoon season, rainfall was close to 43% below the long period average. This
delayed the sowing of crops. However, the rainfall deficit reduced to 18% by August 10. The I MDexpects overall
rainfall deficiency of around 10%, which implies that rains will pick up further over the remaining part of the season.
CRISILs Deficient Rainfall Impact Parameter shows that Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan are the worst-hit. These
states have a large share of coarse cereals (jowar, bajra), pulses (tur) and oilseeds (groundnut, soybean) in overall
production. The delay in sowing of these cropswill pull down the agricultural GDP growth to 1% in FY15. This is
unlikely to derail the Reserve Bank of Indias consumer price index (CPI) inflation target of 8% by J anuary 2015 as the
most-affected crops have low weight (4.3%) in the CPI. Moreover, government measures, such a lower rise in the
minimum support price this year and ample buffer stocks, and a favourable base-effect will cap foodgrain inflation.
However, the risk is from elevated fruit and vegetable prices, which are hard to predict and can play spoilsport.

II P growth decelerates in J une



IIP growth slowed to 3.4% in J une compared to an average 4.2% growth in the previous two months, largely due to weaker growth in manufacturing
output - mainly consumer goods. The output of investment-related (capital) goods, however, continued to grow at a steady pace. For Q1FY15, the
industrial sector staged a revival, growing at 3.9% after falling by an average 0.7% between October 2013 and March 2014. The growth in Q1 was led
by manufacturing and electricity which contributed 63% and 29%, respectively, to IIP growth, while mining output turned positive. Given the Q1 IIP
growth, and assuming that the construction sector grew at the same rate as in FY14, industrial GDP is likely to have grown around 3.3% in Q1FY15,
(compared to 0.2% fall in Q4FY14 and 0.4% fall in Q1FY14), signalling an improvement in industrial performance.



CPI inflation edges higher in J uly

CPI inflation rose to 7.96% in J uly from 7.5% in J une, driven by a rise in food inflation to 9.4% y-o-y from 8% in the previous month. Inflation rose
sharply in vegetable, fruits, pulses, and condiments and spices. The support of a strong base effect to headline inflation last month was not present
in J uly, providing no cushion to rising food prices due to weak rainfall in the first half of the month. CPI Core inflation (excluding food and fuel &
light) fell to 7.3% y-o-y in J uly from 7.5% in the previous month. In the core, inflation came down in transport equipment, recreation and medical
care. The fall was partly led by last years strong base effect. In fact, on an m-o-m seasonally-adjusted basis, core inflation rose by 0.6% as
compared to 0.4% recorded last month.


Rupee weakens marginally in J uly

The rupee depreciated by 0.5% to Rs 60.1/$ on a monthly average basis in J uly despite a rise in FII inflows during the month. On a month-end
basis, however, the currency was fairly stable, ending at Rs 60.2/$ as compared to Rs 60.1/$ at the end of J une. In J uly, the rupee depreciated
marginally despite higher FII inflows. We believe that one reason for this could be higher dollar demand by importers. While data for J uly imports
is still not available, growth was seen to pick-up sharply in J une, reflecting green shoots of recovery in domestic demand. This is likely to have
continued in J uly. Despite depreciating, the rupee was slightly less volatile during the month, trading between 59.7-60.3/$.
