Market outlook
The overall trend of the potassium chloride market in late August may be dominated by a low consolidation. The potassium chloride market is currently facing the oppression of three mountains, that is, the port stock is large, the demand is weak, and the international price is falling. Therefore, the main contradiction in the current market is that supply exceeds demand. The Potassium Chloride Analyst of SunSirs believes that the short-term potassium chloride market is mainly affected by supply and demand and raw materials, and the potassium chloride market may be consolidating at a low level.
