Shenhua concluded business for the month of July 2023 on a disappointing note as transactions for all available grades plummeted following the weakened Dalian Commodity Exchange. Adding to the disparaged market activity were the higher auction prices as homo-PP was CNY50/ton higher than the previous session while LLDPE was CNY30/ton steeper.
