Trading sentiment on the Shenhua Auction Platform closely mirrored mid-week developments on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Transactions for coal-based homo-PP showed moderate weakening compared to the previous session, reflecting the downward trend in futures contract prices.
In contrast, market responses to LLDPE remained positive, despite the absence of lower-priced parcels that had been reported in the prior session.
“Purchasing activity on the Auction Platform aligned with trends in the domestic spot market. For now, we remain optimistic about the near-term outlook for LLDPE,” commented a market source.
