Chinese bidders returned to the coal-based auction platform approaching the weekend on expectations that the futures contracts on Dalian Commodity Exchange would revive after the FED lifted the key interest rate by 0.25%, a signal that inflation is now under control. Transactions improved sharply from the previous two sessions even though Shenhua slightly lifted prices by CNY20-50/ton.
