The Shenhua Auction Platform experienced a notable surge in buying activity on the final trading day of the week, largely driven by the robust recovery of key futures contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Both PP and LLDPE registered strong auction results, despite a CNY30/ton ($4/ton) price increase compared to the previous day. Buyers actively sourcing competitive parcels to prepare for the upcoming weeklong holiday.
This spike in transactions is further fueled by recent government stimulus measures, including direct cash handouts intended to stimulate consumer spending. The resulting uptick in demand for end products signals growing confidence in the market.
