Apparently, Shenhua Group Corporation did not disclose the production output for March while China Coal Energy Co Ltd provides more details. It cannot escape player’s attention that China Coal Energy Co Ltd has oversold some quantities in March for both PP and PE.
The results underlined the fact that Chinese players have been more active in the local market since returning from the Lunar New Year given the competitive price levels. For April, the market foresees a similar situation.
