Trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform continued to witness leveraged sales with both homo-PP and LLDPE securing full deals supported by the limited auction volume along with the sturdy futures contract. The coal-based producer kept homo-PP offers stable while raising offers for LLDPE by CNY50/ton.
Traders added that the tight availability for PE is among the main reasons for the pent-up transactions this week and with rather sanguine sales these past couple of sessions, Shenhua might maintain a firm stance on auction prices in days ahead.
