During today’s session, trading sentiment on the Shenhua Auction Platform showed notable improvement, despite continued declines in futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Shenhua, a major coal producer, reduced auction prices for all grades by CNY 100/ton, contributing to a rise in transaction volumes.
This development highlights the heightened price sensitivity among Chinese buyers, who remain cautious amid economic uncertainties. Market sources suggest that purchasing activity is likely to stay restrained until there are clearer signs of macroeconomic recovery.
