Chinese buyers were notably active in today’s market, with Shenhua’s auction session ending on a strong note. This performance comes despite declining key futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange and a CNY 50/ton increase in coal-based LLDPE film cargo prices. Strong agricultural film demand has continued to support the offtake rate, partially offsetting market pressures.
However, nearly a week into November, auction volumes remain below normal levels. According to sources, uncertainty around potential government stimulus measures and the outcome of the US presidential election has kept both buyers and sellers wary. These factors could further influence trading volumes and pricing trends in the days ahead.
