The Shenhua auction platform concluded today's session on a strong note, supported by improved trading sentiment in the futures market on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, especially for LLDPE. Despite price hikes of CNY 140/ton, buying activity remained robust, with all quantities sold. Ongoing supply constraints, coupled with seasonal demand from the agricultural sector, continue to support the bullish trend.
The volume of auctions on the platform has continued to decrease since early November, reflecting shifts in transactions with local converters.
Looking ahead, market participants remain optimistic, although the sustainability of the current uptrend remains uncertain due to broader economic conditions.
