Shenhua wrapped up today’s auction session on a strong footing, bolstered by the sustained strength of futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. The coal-based producer’s decision to keep auction prices largely unchanged from the previous session further stimulated buying interest.

“The market is stabilizing and could gain momentum in the coming days if converters continue restocking,” a market source noted.
