Key takeaways:
Despite a downturn in futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, Shenhua successfully achieved full sales for coal-based homo-PP yarn cargoes. This performance came without the need for further discounts, highlighting the firm support for PP amid reduced supply. The auction volume was notably cut to just 200 tons due to the month-end closing.
In stark contrast, LLDPE film cargoes failed to attract any buying interest, even with similarly low auction volumes. The complete lack of concluded deals underscores the persistent weakness in LLDPE demand.
