Trading sentiment on the Shenhua auction platform improved sharply from the previous session, particularly for coal-based homo-PP cargoes after the producer agreed to CNY10/ton discount. Meanwhile, buyers continue to shy away from LLDPE cargoes even though the available auction volume has been halved. Sources said that buyers refrain from aggressive restocking on the back of lacking confidence in the near term.
