Local suppliers did not immediately respond to the plunging futures market, instead, continue to raise spot LLDPE film offers by as much as CNY100/ton.
Following a strong rally last week, Shenhua raised offers for homo-PP by CNY100/ton and LLDPE by CNY90/ton right on the first auction session this week, which could not be any worse timing.

Optimism over a brighter economic outlook has been fueling trading sentiment on the Dalian Commodity Exchange throughout the week, which in turn, encouraged purchasing activities in the domestic spot market.
Among the PE film grades, customers show a strong interest in LLDPE film. Several international producers and trading houses even lifted spot prices twice this week following satisfactory responses from buyers.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that a large bulk of local inventories were absorbed by the distribution market this week, and it is time traders attempt to release the on-hand stocks to converters for a margin.
Both homo-PP and LLDPE achieved full deals, however, it is interesting that the producer raised offers guardedly by just CNY30/ton on homo-PP while LLDPE and HDPE remained unchanged.
