Shenhua achieved strong auction results for the second consecutive trading day this week, driven by a CNY 50/ton discount on coal-based LLDPE and support from firming futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Traders were further incentivized by the large price gap between auction offers and the domestic spot market, particularly as auction volumes have been significantly reduced in recent weeks.
“While the domestic spot market remains stable throughout the morning session, local producers have indicated higher prices in the second half of the trading day. This has prompted buyers to snap up more competitively priced coal-based parcels,” a market source added.
