-- ロイター通信は火曜日、アイルランガ・ハルタルト経済調整相の発言を引用し、インドネシアが石油化学産業で使用される一部のプラスチック原料と液化石油ガス(LPG)の輸入関税を撤廃し、供給圧力の緩和を図る計画だと報じた。 この措置は5月に発効予定で、イラン紛争による中東からのナフサ供給途絶の影響で国内のプラスチック価格が50~100%高騰していることを受けてのものだ。 この政策に基づき、ポリプロピレン、LLDPE、高密度ポリエチレンなどの主要原料の輸入関税は6ヶ月間0%に引き下げられる。また、石油化学用途のLPG輸入関税も同期間、5%から0%に引き下げられる見込みだ。 インドネシアは現在、プラスチック製品に5~15%の関税を課しており、政府は6か月後にこの政策を見直す予定だと通信社は報じた。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる場合もあります。正確性は保証されません。)

U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade, Reuters said in a Wednesday report, citing The Wall Street Journal.The move will prolong supply disruptions in the Middle East despite a ceasefire in the war with Iran, as talks to end the war have stalled, the report said."The recent rise in oil prices has been driven by the Strait blockade. If Trump is prepared to extend the blockade, supply disruptions would worsen further and continue to push oil prices higher," Reuters quoted Yang An, an analyst at Haitong Futures, as saying.Investors are also digesting market impacts of the United Arab Emirates' announcement to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, according to the report. However, analysts do not see major near-term impacts so far."The United Arab Emirates' exit from OPEC+ formalises the organisations weaker cohesion, but the near-term impact is limited," Reuters quoted an ANZ Research note as saying. "The move reflects long-standing quota tensions, but prices are still being driven more by geopolitics, inventories and logistics than by institutional changes."
