The Shenhua auction platform closed today's session on a strong note, despite a lackluster Dalian Commodity Exchange. The CNY 60/ton price increase did not deter buyers, with LLDPE continuing its upward trajectory, achieving fully sold quantities. Meanwhile, purchasing activity for homo-PP remained mediocre, even with a CNY 80/ton discount.
The market indicates that the limited allocation of LLDPE helped support the strong sales, driven by tightening supply in the spot market. As the weekend approaches, market participants are adopting a more cautious approach, anticipating further developments in the upcoming week.
