Following a strong rally last week, Shenhua raised offers for homo-PP by CNY100/ton and LLDPE by CNY90/ton right on the first auction session this week, which could not be any worse timing.
Key PP and LLDPE contracts on Dalian Commodity Exchange nosedived throughout the morning session following disappointing GDP data signalling the inertia of economic recovery progress.
Transaction for all available grades for auction fell drastically as a result as Chinese bidders shy away from offtaking additional quantity when the market outlook weakened.
