Trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform for homo-PP faced more resistance as the producer lifted offers by CNY20/ton backed by the upbeat transaction activity in the previous session while LLDPE managed to secure 100% deals despite a slight increase of CNY10/ton albeit the reduced auction volume. 

Since the month is nearing its concluding stages, many traders are looking to the month ahead for more developments on pricing and chose to stay away from the purchases with prices currently floating within the range bound.
