For the fourth trading session in a row, trading activities on the Shenhua auction platform are healthy, reflecting in the continued satisfactory deals concluded. The producer, therefore, cautiously lifted offers for homo-PP by CNY80/ton while slightly lifting offers for LLDPE by CNY10/ton after maintaining a conservative stance on pricing over the past couple of days.
Prices are expected to hover on a firmer note backed by the favourable Dalian Commodity Exchange and anticipation surrounding pro-growth stimulus intervention from the government.
