Chinese bidders remained enthusiastic about making replenishment on the Shenhua auction platform, driven by the resilient futures market and reduced auction volume. The producer managed to achieve healthy sales results even after lifting auction prices by CNY20/ton for homo-PP and CNY100/ton for LLDPE.
As China will be off for the long weekend holiday starting Thursday, traders continued to indulge in the market for necessary replenishments which may offer some support for prices in the near term.
