With key PP and LLDPE contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange regaining some stabilization from the downswing in the previous trading day, Chinese bidders were more confident in participating in auctioning for coal-based cargoes on the Shenhua Auction Platform.
Demand for LLDPE was strong, driven by the strong futures contracts and the anticipated reduced import arrivals that would tighten local availability. Meanwhile, the auction outcomes for homo-PP remain weak, although auction prices have decreased by CNY 50/ton, but failed to stimulate additional purchases.
