The Shenhua auction platform kickstarted the week on a strong note as buyers appeared more enthusiastic to procure more cargo leading to a healthy number of deals concluded. The producer reportedly lowered the auction price by CNY20/ton for homo-PP and CNY30/ton for LLDPE, partially contributing to the smooth selling process.  

Market participants shrugged off the bearish manufacturing data in November to focus on the possibility that global economy might recover at a quicker pace as major central banks are poised to cut interest rates in 2024.
