The market supply was low, some refineries were shipping smoothly, inventory was decreasing, sulfur prices continued to rise, and the overall sulfur market situation was mainly stable.

Downstream market trends in the industrial chain:

The manufacturer's quotation rose significantly, downstream terminal procurement was active, and the market trading atmosphere was improving. With the dual benefits of supply and demand, the price of sulfuric acid had once again increased.

Market outlook

The sulfur analyst from SunSirs believes that sulfur manufacturers had no inventory pressure, and the favorable factors on the demand side became the key force supporting the sustained improvement of the sulfur market. However, with the continuous rise in sulfur prices, the market had also begun to pay attention to the downstream industry's acceptance of high priced sulfur. For the prediction of the future sulfur market, we need to closely monitor the reactions of downstream industries.
