The Shenhua Auction Platform had a remarkable week, boasting impressive performances in various polymers, albeit with a slight hiccup in LLDPE, which fell short by just 0.1% in deals concluded. Auction prices for PP block copolymer and HDPE were higher, yet this did not deter the conclusion of deals.
"There was a brief moment of doubt when the Dalian Commodity Exchange faltered towards the session's end, hinting at potential discounts on the auction platform," remarked a Chinese participant. "But we were proven wrong. Many placed bids, encouraged by the stability of homo-PP and LLDPE auction prices compared to the spot market, where local producers were holding firm."
It was evident that local buyers eagerly rushed to place bids, seizing the opportunity presented by the stable auction prices amid a backdrop of producers maintaining a strong stance in the spot market.
