In July, the raw material phosphate ore market was mainly stable, and the downstream demand was insufficient. Industry players cautiously wait and see. Some mining companies lowered their phosphate ore prices. In July, the raw material sulfur market was operating weakly, and the price trend at the end of the month rose slightly. The performance of the domestic sulfur market was tepid. The downstream factories and traders were less motivated to enter the market for purchasing, insufficient follow-up purchases, limited demand, high inventory at the port, slow consumption, and lack of substantive information guidance on internal and external markets. The stalemate between buyers and sellers was mainly to wait and see.

Market outlook

The ammonium phosphate analyst of SunSirs believes that the market for ammonium phosphate raw materials in July is not good, the demand for downstream compound fertilizers is weak, and the market transactions are limited. Currently, the price of ammonium biphosphate is firm, and the international market demand for DAP is improving. It is expected that in August, the ammonium biphosphate will fluctuate slightly and the price of DAP will increase.
