Trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform remained relatively strong on the final trading day of the week as bidders are highly motivated by the resilient Dalian Commodity Exchange. The producer kept offers for LLDPE stable while homo-PP was marked up by CNY10/ton. 

The satisfactory sales results are attributed to the pre-holiday replenishment activities while these coal-based cargoes are still more competitive than the local spot market.
