Northeast demand is weak and prices are rising, but the implementation is not ideal. The local markets in Ningxia and Shaanxi in Northwest China were temporarily stable after rising. After pushing up 20-30 yuan/ton in many places in East China before the festival, most of them have fallen back to the level before the rise.
