The Dalian Commodity Exchange prices of PP and LLDPE hit new lows in the morning session due to weak crude prices thus impacting auction sales. Homo-PP auction price dropped by CNY100/ton and LLDPE price dropped by CNY50/ton compared to yesterday while PE deals, especially HDPE, saw no transactions today. Traders still lack confidence and remain uncertain with the market trend.
