*Auction and Deal volumes are in tonnage 

*All USD equivalent prices only exclude the 13% value-added tax (VAT). They have not taken into account other costs that might incur in the selling process, i.e. import duty, customs clearances.

                 

Although the number of transactions for homo-PP reduced slightly compared to the previous session, the overall number of deals remains satisfactory. Given the stronger buying interest, Shenhua kept deal prices for homo-PP unchanged day-on-day but decided to lower the LLDPE price by CNY100/ton to facilitate sales.
