*Auction and Deal volumes are in tonnage 

*All USD equivalent prices only exclude the 13% value-added tax (VAT). They have not taken into account other costs that might incur in the selling process, i.e. import duty, customs clearances.

                 

Trading sentiment improved slightly on the final trading day of the week after Shenhua agreed to additional discounts on homo-PP cargoes. Such price sensitivity only indicates the lack of confidence in the near-term outlook among Chinese buyers.
