The number of transactions for homo-PP on the Shenhua auction platform inched slightly lower than the previous session even though the producer agreed to additional discounts on deals. While the percentage of deals is relatively satisfactory, this is the second day in a row purchasing activities have declined. On the other hand, Chinese buyers quickly scoop up all HDPE quantity available while reluctant to off-take LLDPE – a development has also been observed in the spot market.
