PP and LLDPE futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) opened on a weak footing before staging a modest morning rebound, with LLDPE contracts recovering more firmly than PP. Despite firmer paper gains in PE, clearance rates at Shenhua Baotou Coal Chemical Co.’s auction on 4 November 2026 diverged sharply across prime polyolefin grades.
Global east–west container rates diverged in the week to 30 October 2026, as European hub congestion and strike backlogs extended Asia–Europe gains whilst Transpacific benchmarks held near peak plateaus despite cooling post-season demand.
