*Auction and Deal volumes are in tonnage 

*All USD equivalent prices only exclude the 13% value-added tax (VAT).

                 

Available cargoes for the auction have improved on the second trading day of the week, however, purchasing interest remains very much sluggish, reflected in the low percentage of deals. Buyers are resisting the higher prices.
