Total PP and PE stocks in the local market digested another 10,000 tons from the previous trading day to 915,000 tons as of 15 April 2021.

Trading sentiment in the domestic spot market remains mediocre in spite of the firming Dalian Commodity Exchange. There have been constant reports on the active forward selling activities among local traders for May delivery cargoes at CNY100/ton below the current market levels, indicating the lack of confidence in the market outlook.
