Thanks to the rebounded futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, Chinese bidders became more willing to source additional PP and PE cargoes, leading to some improvement on the Shenhua Auction Platform. The uptick in the overall trading sentiment was driven by the stronger-than-expected consumer price index, however, buyers are not convinced that this trend would sustain in the coming week.

Shenhua Baotou Coal Chemical Co, the largest coal-based polyolefins producer in China, operates through four subsidiaries: Shenhua Xinjiang Coal-based New Materials Project, Shenhua Yulin Energy Co. Ltd., Shenhua Baotou Coal Chemical Co. Ltd., and Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group (Ningmei).
