Q3 2017
Phosphate market stabilised with a pick-up in late Q3 ■
Ammonium phosphate fertilizer price ~US$340/t (Avg. Tampa FOB) and Ammonia price averaged ~US$ 218/t (Avg. ME FOB) in Q3
■
South America demand was lower due to high inventory levels but Indian subcontinent demand picked up in Q3 which supported the late Q3 price improvement
■
On the supply side, US saw supply dip due to Hurricane Irma and volumes from Morocco also increased. More limited Chinese exports also contributed to a tighter than expected market
■
Further supply from Moroccan and Wa’ad Al Shamal project ramp-ups may soften prices in the coming quarters
