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

Aluminium prices built on recent gains in Q3 2017 ■

Aluminium price averaged US$ 2,012/tonne (LME), up 24% vs. Q3 2016 and up 9% vs. Q2 2017



LME prices should be supported by Chinese central government’s supply reform policies and for 2017 the market is expected to remain nearly balanced with a deficit possible next year



Robust demand growth at 4-5% and continued implementation of supply side reforms in China to progressively reduce overcapacity issue
