Phosphate market firmed in Q4 after a mixed year ■

After a weak start to the year, DAP prices recorded an average price around US$20/t higher than in 2016



Overall demand was healthy through the year with Q4 being supported by rising demand in the Indian sub-continent



Plant closures and delays in project ramp-ups impacted supply and China exports slowed due to a buoyant local market



Production input prices for phosphate fertilisers, notably Sulphur and ammonia, also increased late in the year which also impacted prices positively

Aluminium prices (LME) continued their recovery in 2017, showing an increase of around 25% over the course of the year



Robust demand growth continued with estimates for 2017 of 4-5%



Further rationalization in the industry, particularly with the impact of reforms in China towards the end of the year, supported the price recovery



In addition, raw material costs helped push up the price of alumina and aluminium
