The recent auction on the Shenhua Auction Platform showcased a remarkable achievement with all materials achieving a 100% concluded rate. Despite a marginally higher auctioned volume for PPBC and LLDPE compared to the previous session, the platform echoed a strong note akin to the Dalian Commodity Exchange.
Local producers maintained firm offers, prompting buyers to prioritize auctioned goods despite higher prices for homo-PP, ranging between CNY30 – 70/ton.
“We are still vigilantly monitoring the market amid concerns on temporary easing of tensions in the Middle East impacting prices in the near term,” shared a local trader.
