*Auction and Deal volumes are in tonnage

Trading sentiment on the Shenhua auction platform remains stale toward the end of the week as bidders started to lose confidence in the near-term outlook after the government reiterated the Zero-Covid policies. Both homo-PP and LLDPE deal prices dropped CNY100-150/ton from the previous session, yet, transactions are disappointing.
