*Auction and Deal volumes are in tonnage 

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

Trading activities have improved slightly compared to the previous trading day, however, yet to meet the expectation. The constantly weak transaction clearly underlined the lack of confidence among local buyers.
