Trading sentiment on the Shenhua auction platform is supported by a confluence of factors including the strong Dalian Commodity Exchange and reduced auction volume. Still, Shenhua facilitated demand by offering discounts of CNY20/ton on homo-PP and CNY80/ton on LLDPE cargoes, which created an attractive price gap with the futures market that lured arbitrage traders back to the market.
Although Chinese buyers are generally cautious and highly price-sensitive, this type of opportunity usually does not go unnoticed.
