The prices of PP and LLDPE experienced a slight increase due to the recent rise in crude oil prices since last night which resulted in a positive outlook in the overall auction sales for PP and LLDPE this morning. The auction price of homo-PP remained stable compared to yesterday, while LLPE was priced at CNY20/ton lower than the previous day.

 Despite the positive outcome in today’s deals, some traders remain cautious while observing the market. Traders will continue to exercise caution, monitoring market dynamics while anticipating increased activity in the upcoming week. They expect prices to remain relatively stable, hovering within a narrow and weak range in the near term.
