Following three consecutive sessions of sluggish trading sentiment, Chinese bidders returned to the Shenhua auction platform to make replenishment today, resulting in a rather strong sales result. Deal prices for all grades inched slightly higher but market participants remain cautious, fearing a change in the futures market would cause purchasing activities on the Shenhua platform to fall.
