Trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform softened from the previous session as bidders withdraw to the sidelines following the declines on the Dalian Commodity Exchange that eradicate the price gap between the two platforms. 

Real demand remains soft in China. Market sources are waiting for more economic stimulus from the government to boost consumption. In the meantime, players are not portraying high risk appetite.
