The Shenhua auction platform concluded today’s session on a strong note, particularly for LLDPE materials, which all allocations successfully sold despite continuously firming prices. Chinese buyers demonstrated robust interest in LLDPE, driven by stable demand from the agricultural sector and a tightening supply in the spot market due to lower import cargo arrivals.

Market sources highlighted that the persistently reduced auction volumes also contributed to the strong performance. However, some buyers expressed concerns over the sustained price increases, noting growing resistance from end-product consumers. This could potentially lead to a slowdown in purchases by converters in the coming days.
