After a brief dive in trading sentiment late last week, Chinese bidders returned to the market with a healthy buying appetite again thanks to the downward price adjustment Shenhua introduced to smoothen the sales process. Data showed auction price for homo-PP fell CNY50/ton while LLDPE slipped CNY70/ton.

Sources expected purchasing activities to remain satisfactory in the immediate terms as converters stock up cargoes ahead of the long holiday.
