A confluence of factors supported the strong auction results this morning, including the rebounded futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, strong domestic spot market, and limited import offers. Sources said that buyers flocked to the Shenhua Auction Platform after the coal-based producer decided to maintain auction prices stable from the previous session despite the firmer market optic in the short-term. Price sensitivity remained predominant in the market.
