The Shenhua Auction Platform continues to show impressive overall performance, with only a slight decline in concluded deals for homo-PP. However, this trend did not extend to HDPE, which saw no bids today after strong activity in the previous two days.
Most concluded deals were from buyers who wanted to replenish inventories as dealt prices today were slightly softer by CNY10 – 20/ton than on Tuesday on the high-end pricing range. It was apparent buying appetite has also gone gradually softer.
One Chinese buyer, who proceeded cautiously, remarked, "As these past days it was hard to source for cheaper cargoes, so we decided to buy some essentials as our inventory has reached critical levels."
