*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.

 

Chinese bidders seem less interested in homo-PP cargoes on the final trading day of the week, reflected in the nosedived number of transactions for this grade. The continuous upward price adjustment over the past several days pushed buyers away due to concerns over rising price risks. 

On the other hand, buyers continue searching for LLDPE cargoes given the reduced auction volume.
