Purchasing activities on the Shenhua auction platform remain satisfactory toward the month-end as the coal-based producer conceded to another CNY20-30/ton discount from the previous session to facilitate transactions. Market sources expected the auction volume to decline further in the next couple of days as the maker seeks to wrap up the month. 

Despite cautious expectations for a potential price rebound in the near term, traders remain hesitant to be overly optimistic, given the persistently weak actual market demand.
