With key contract PP and PE materials of the Dalian Commodity Exchanges (DCE) experienced a continuous rebound reflecting more successful results on the Shenhua auction platform compared to the previous auction. Chinese bidders developed a strong interest in PP-homo and LLDPE materials as they seek to replenish stock after a brief period of inactivity over the past two days.
A market participant noted, "We're observing a shift in buyer behavior, with participants willing to make purchases, but this is driven solely by short-term requirements." While these developments signal some positive momentum, questions on the sustainability of the trend remained in place.
