Trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform performed considerably better than the previous session as market confidence improved sharply after the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) cut short-term borrowing costs to support recovery. Market players are looking forward to more stimulus from the government, which could boost demand. 

Thanks to the additional CNY30/ton reductions in deal prices that created an attractive gap with the Dalian Commodity Exchange, arbitrage traders are active in scouring coal-based cargoes on the Shenhua auction platform.
