With key PP and LLDPE contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange traded in the red territory throughout the morning session, Chinese bidders have somewhat withheld purchasing activities for coal-based cargoes on the Shenhua auction platform, awaiting a more convincing price adjustments from the producer.
Transactions have fallen compared to the previous auction session considering there were only CNY10/ton discounts available on deals for both homo-PP and LLDPE cargoes. Market players were generally pessimistic on the near-term prospect particularly in light of the softening import offers this week.
