With the sturdy support from firming futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity, trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform remained healthy. Both homo-PP and LLDPE achieved full deals, however, it is interesting that the producer raised offers guardedly by just CNY30/ton on homo-PP while LLDPE and HDPE remained unchanged.
At the moment, buyers are willing to accept menial price increases considering the extended support from the Dalian Commodity Exchange and rallied local sentiment. Nevertheless, many are on the lookout for more movements in the week ahead to ascertain the market situation and if prices will trickle back down.
