Total stocks at Sinopec and CNPC’s warehouses digested another 20,000 tons to 625,000 tons as of 30 September 2021.
Purchasing interest weakened visibly from the previous sessions as buyers wrapped up pre-holiday replenishment while traders concentrate on delivering previous orders. There have been reports that delivery costs would increase starting October, which put sellers on edge.
Discussing the post-holiday demand outlook, market sources are cautiously optimistic, citing that the electricity supply issue would determine the state of demand.
China market will be off from 1 October to 7 October 2021 for the National Day holiday. Trading will resume on 8 October 2021.
