Trading sentiment on the Shenhua Auction Platform remained largely unchanged from the previous session, with a notable discrepancy between homo-PP and LLDPE continuing to dominate discussions. This persistent differential in demand mirrored movements on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, according to market sources.

Market participants expressed concern over the dwindling buying activities throughout the week but remained hopeful about the demand outlook ahead of the traditional manufacturing season.
