In the second session, brands like Mengzi quoted premiums of around 5 yuan/mt against the online price. Overall, the futures market continued to rise today, but market trading sentiment was relatively weak, with most transactions driven by downstream just-in-time procurement based on orders. In the second session, fewer traders were selling in the market. Currently, Guangdong's social inventory has decreased, and under low premiums, traders showed low willingness to sell. Today's spot premiums remained unchanged from yesterday.
