The Shenhua ended today’s auction session with a satisfactory number of transactions, partly because of the reduced available volume. With key contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange struggling to retain the previous rally, buyers started portraying a certain level of reservation toward new purchases.
Shenhua attempted to lift the coal-based LLDPE film auction price by CNY50/ton. Despite the apparent CNY130/ton higher in the homo-PP auction price, this adjustment is attributed to the absence of a warehouse's low auction price from the previous day, resulting in an effective rollover.
