“Just heard that Wengfu is making a multi billion dollar investment in Hunan (Henan?) in phosphate chemical production.”
China domestic market update : ❤ *Sulfur: Last week, the domestic port spot market initially rose then fell, with price range reference at 2,345-2,350 yuan/ton, and mainstream reference price down 10 yuan/ton from the previous working day. Early in the week, as the July delivery deadline approached, market activity suddenly heated up. Domestic large refinery sales tender results exceeded market expectations, combined with active downstream purchasing dynamics. Multiple positive factors worked together to drive sulfur prices up rapidly. However, after the delivery period ended, market demand gradually returned to normal. Due to lack of key directional news support, port area prices began entering a downward channel, and market participants’ sentiment became volatile and fragile. Focus on downstream purchasing dynamics and USD-denominated resource conditions during this cycle.
❤ Urea: Last week, the domestic urea market fluctuated weakly. Supply side remained at high levels with sufficient supply; demand side follow-through was insufficient, and export orders fell short of expectations. With inadequate rigid demand support, urea price center shifted downward. Continue monitoring downstream follow-through and export performance, but with limited actual positive support in the market, urea prices may continue fluctuating and consolidating after touching bottom and rebounding.
❤ Synthetic Ammonia: Last week, the domestic synthetic ammonia market overall explored upward, but regional differentiation was evident: North saw limited demand despite supply recovery; South was boosted by export and phosphate fertilizer demand. Current supply-demand patterns vary, and while the South improved, it was affected by increasing surrounding supply, making the outlook cautious. Overall, expect the market to maintain differentiated trends in the short term, with weak adjustment as the main theme.
❤ Ammonium Chloride: Yesterday, the ammonium chloride market operated stably. Most ammonium chloride enterprises executed previous pending orders, currently not accepting new orders at low levels. Compound fertilizer enterprises mainly restocked based on rigid demand. With enterprises conducting maintenance in rotation in the short term and no obvious improvement in supply-demand fundamentals, the ammonium chloride market mainly operated steadily.
❤ Ammonium Sulfate: Last week, the domestic ammonium sulfate market mainly declined, with poor trading at high levels. Due to downstream manufacturers’ lack of enthusiasm for purchasing high-priced goods, raw material manufacturers rationally lowered prices amid shipping difficulties. Considering no breakthrough in international markets, expect this week’s market to continue mainly weak and volatile trends.
❤ Melamine: Last week, the domestic melamine market continued its slight decline trend. With sluggish downstream demand and high capacity utilization rates, enterprises face shipping pressure and prices still have downward space. However, current prices are at year lows, enterprises strongly wish to support prices, so overall downward space may be relatively limited.
❤ Phosphate Fertilizer: Last week, the domestic monoammonium phosphate market atmosphere improved with rising prices. Hubei 55% powder factory price at 3,400 yuan/ton or slightly higher, with traders mostly quoting above this price. Increased inquiries combined with cost pressure drove bullish sentiment among industry players. Downstream rigid demand still exists but cautious about chasing highs. Short-term maintenance of firm operation, with price exploration potential if demand continues following. Last week, the domestic diammonium phosphate market continued observing, with prices maintaining stable operation. Enterprises continued mainly executing export orders, with Hubei region 64% factory prices maintained at 3,800-3,850 yuan/ton, with actual orders under negotiation. Market trading atmosphere remained sluggish, downstream operations were cautious, only maintaining appropriate restocking as needed. Short-term market continues consolidating.
❤ Potash Fertilizer: Last week, the domestic compound fertilizer market moved up slightly within a narrow range, but after enterprises adjusted new prices, downstream dealers’ acceptance sentiment was not high. Additionally, some raw material prices loosened, further intensifying downstream wait-and-see sentiment. However, with enterprises’ autumn promotional policies advancing and fertilizer preparation underway, the compound fertilizer market continues narrow-range consolidation in the short term.

In the first half of 2025, China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) has exported 17.13 million tons of fertilizer, an increase of 35.9% over the same period of last year. Among them, the export performance of ammonium sulfate is outstanding, from January to June cumulative export 8.3341 million tons, ranking the first in the various fertilizer varieties.
It is worth noting that driven by the sharp increase in the export of 8-40-0 nitrogen-phosphorus binary compound fertilizer, according to the tariff code of HS31055900, the cumulative export of nitrogen-phosphorus binary fertilizer in the first half of the year was 2.1797 million tons, an increase of 1.7329 million tons compared to the same period of last year, becoming the largest increase in the variety of phosphorus compound fertilizer.
From the monthly data of June, the top five fertilizer varieties in China's export volume are: 1.8563 million tons of ammonium sulfate, 761.3 thousand tons of nitrogen and phosphorus binary compound fertilizer, 506,300 tons of diammonium phosphate, 168,900 tons of ammonium chloride for fertilizer, 165,600 tons of monoammonium phosphate.
Ammonium sulphate is the leading exporter. The amount of phosphate fertilizer exported in various disguises is considerable.
Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures rose for a third consecutive session on Friday and set a two-week high on spillover support from contract highs in soyoil futures, analysts said.
CBOT soyoil climbed to contract highs for a second consecutive day on expectations for strong U.S. demand due to government mandates for renewable fuels to be blended into the nation's fuel mix.
U.S. biofuel makers will consume more than half of all soyoil produced in the United States next year, according to U.S. government estimates.
Traders also monitored U.S. weather conditions amid concerns that temperatures may turn unfavorably hot for crops.
August is the key month for weather to influence the size of the autumn soybean harvest.
Temperatures will increase across the Corn Belt starting next week, weather forecaster Vaisala said. Heat stress is possible in southwestern areas but probably not across the heart of the region, the firm said.
Technical buying helped support gains, traders said.
New-crop CBOT November soybeans ended up 9-1/4 cents at $10.35-3/4 a bushel and hit the highest level since July 3. The contract rallied by 2.8% for the week.
CBOT August soyoil set a contract high of 57.17 cents per pound before ending down 0.4 cent at 55.82 cents per pound.
CBOT August soymeal jumped $5.30 to close at $274 per short ton. The market bounced after setting a contract low of $264.50 set on Tuesday.
SSP Market Update – Late July 2025
Let’s get straight to the numbers. Here's a snapshot of SSP prices across key global markets:
🔻 Egypt:
In its 12 July tender, NCIC sold nearly 30,000 t of SSP (19% P₂O₅) at $230–235/t FOB, down $5–10 from just two weeks ago.
Is this a tactical move to attract hesitant buyers, or a signal of deeper demand-side pressures?
🌎 Brazil:
The market remains caught in a state of indecision:
SSP Granular 19% P₂O₅: $240–250/t CFR
SSP Granular 20% P₂O₅: $260–270/t CFR
On the surface, prices appear stable. But below that calm exterior, something is brewing:
Buyers are hesitating, while sellers stay cautious. It’s a delicate balance between the fear of buying too early and the risk of missing out.
🧪 Phosphate Rock Inputs for SSP
No price movement reported:
Egypt: $120/t (India west coast, Abu Tartur Mines Fe2O3~4%)
Jordan: $116–210/t FOB
Syria: ~$126/t CFR India (east coast)
Pakistan: Offers in a similar range
📉 Despite upstream cost pressures — from phosphoric acid to freight rates — SSP remains one of the few phosphate fertilizers showing relative price stability. But is this calm… just the pause before a shift?
🔍 Final Take:
The SSP market is entering a phase of recalibration.
In Egypt, the recent price drop could be a strategic reset or a reflection of real demand slack.
In Brazil, undercoverage persists, meaning that a sudden buying surge could trigger an upward price movement.

🧭 TSP Market: A Calm in the Midst of Volatility
In a market where price swings have become the norm for many phosphate fertilizers, Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) has remained in a surprisingly steady state. For three consecutive weeks, prices have held firm across key origins:
🇲🇦 Morocco (FOB): $545–593/t
🇹🇳 Tunisia (FOB): $555–565/t
🇨🇳 China (FOB): $580–600/t
🇺🇸 USA – New Orleans (FOB): $630–650 per short ton
While other phosphate segments react quickly to minor shifts in demand or logistics, the TSP market seems to be taking a breath — perhaps preparing for its next move.
📦 Recent Deals:
Morocco’s OCP sold less than 5,000 tons of TSP to western Europe at $620–645/t CFR. With freight costs in the $30–35/t range, the implied FOB price stands around $590–610/t.
In addition, 35,000 tons were sold to south and west Asia (excluding India) at $625–630/t CFR, with freight of $40–45/t, suggesting a FOB price around $585/t.
📌 These trades indicate that while listed prices remain flat, the market pulse is active — quiet, but meaningful.
