Shenhua concluded the final trading day of the month on a mixed note with homo-PP achieving strong sales results while LLDPE witnessing a drastic drop even with the lowered auctioned volume. This is a direct result of the higher auction prices of CNY80/ton day-on-day. 

Industry insiders anticipate further developments next month, foreseeing continued support from the carbon emission control policy, particularly for coal-based cargoes. The expectation is that June's market will open on a stronger note.
