*Auction and Deal volumes are in tonnage 

*All USD equivalent prices only exclude the 13% value-added tax (VAT). They have not taken into account other costs that might incur in the selling process, i.e. import duty, customs clearances.

                 

With additional price cuts from the previous session, Chinese bidders become more interested to return to the Shenhua auction platform on the final trading day of the week. With lingering fear of a potential lockdown in Beijing, market participants become more cautious of the price levels they could accept.
