Upstream phosphate ore, at present, the phosphate ore market has always been weak, and the coming double festival may inject a rising momentum into the market. Under the downstream periodic replenishment, the supply and demand of phosphate rock will be able to cycle positively. The downstream pre holiday stock has gradually started. With the increase of demand, it is expected that new orders of phosphate rock will be closed to the high-end.

 

For yellow phosphorus, the market price has increased steadily. Downstream gradually began to prepare goods before the festival, orders increased moderately, the market trading situation was fair, and the spot price of yellow phosphorus market was slightly tense.

Internationally, at present, WTI crude oil price fell by more than 2% in the early trading to below $39 / barrel, continuing the downward trend of last week. Several of the reasons for the decline have to do with demand, or rather a persistent lack of demand. The reason for Saudi Arabia’s cut in oil prices is the lack of purchasing volume, and the “driving” season in the United States is over, and oil consumption is likely to decrease in the next few weeks. In the long run, Russia believes that demand will not recover in three years. These factors may cause OPEC’s oil price expectation to remain below $50 / barrel.

 

The phosphate ore market is mainly stable for the time being, and the short-term delivery is not improved
