At present, sulfur stocks in domestic refineries are low, and the supply of liquid sulfur is tight. Given the performance of supply and demand, the market has been supported. Most of the domestic sulphur companies' quotations have risen, and the sulphur market prices have been firm. Under the support of the domestic market, the late market may go up. The downstream compound fertilizer is mainly purchased on demand, and the market is stable.

Market outlook

The ammonium phosphate analyst of SunSirs believes that due to the weak downstream demand, the current ammonium biphosphate market is weak and the price has not changed significantly. Demand for DAP increases at home and abroad, and the markets gradually improve and begin to rise slightly. It is expected that ammonium biphosphate will remain stable in the short term, while DAP still has room for growth.
