China's DAP fell to 630-640 US dollars/ton fob, and the overall quotation level in the Asian market was lower, falling by 5 US dollars/ton.
Due to the downturn in downstream demand, prices in the European market remained flat or weakened. However, it is expected that there will be a small amount of demand in the coming weeks, mainly due to the remaining import demand before the spring demand.
In the west of Suez, the Brazilian MAP price weakened to 650-655 US dollars/ton cfr this week, and fell by 5 US dollars/ton from the high level.
The US market is quiet, but suppliers expect demand to recover in the coming weeks.
