Despite a lackluster trading session in the futures market on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, auction results concluded with a stronger performance compared to the previous session, particularly for homo-PP, which was supported by a CNY 150/ton discount. As the year draws to a close, coal-based producers have met their annual sales targets, alleviating sales pressure. This has resulted in a limited availability of auction volumes.
