On the previous trading day, total stocks at Sinopec and CNPC’s warehouses digested 40,000 tons to 760,000 tons as of 24 September 2021.

Trading sentiment appears less heavy on the final day of the week after the Jiangsu municipal government signals less ‘harsh’ policies in energy consumption controls, prompting expectations that manufacturers in the area might be able to restart operations soon. 

“However, the government started to warn against speculations on futures and stock market, causing traders to withdraw their position. A correction on the futures market could cause domino effects in the spot market, too. However, we believed that buyers would be more willing to make replenishment if prices come down,” a trader added.
