As key contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange extended the weakening trend, particularly for LLDPE futures, Chinese bidders’ interest in coal-based LLDPE cargoes on the Shenhua auction platform dropped sharply. On the other hand, Shenhua offered CNY50/ton discounts on homo-PP, which helped the maker to achieve a rather satisfactory transaction.
While a large part of the market has taken off for the holiday, a few large-scale buyers are still present and expressed the interest in making additional purchases would more discounts become available.
