Trading sentiment on the Shenhua auction platform ended on a strong note, defying the softening trend in PP and PE futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Demand for LLDPE remained robust, with buyers undeterred by a CNY 50/ton price increase, reflecting heightened confidence in this grade.
A local trader explained, “In recent weeks, Shenhua has oversold cargoes through the offline market, reducing the volume of material available for auction. This has provided some support for upcoming price levels.”
