Compared to the previous trading session, Shenhua received better responses from the market on the first day of the week. The stronger number of deals is also the direct result of lower auction prices, sources said. Data showed the coal-based producer lowered the auction price for homo-PP by CNY20/ton while slashing LLDPE by CNY200/ton. 

Market buying activities are driven by immediate needs, with uncertainty prevailing in the near-term outlook.
