At present, domestic sulfur stocks are low, supply is decreasing, and market quotations are steadily increasing. On the downstream side, factories mainly purchase on demand, and phosphate fertilizer export performance is acceptable. In the short term, the market lacks substantive news guidance, and trading is cautious. Industry players mainly watch the performance of domestic fertilizer use in the autumn.
Future market forecast: It is expected that the domestic sulfur market will remain stalemate in the short term.
