Market trends of sulfur in North China: Offers in this region have declined this week, as downstream fertilizer manufacturers are operating at limited capacity and mainly handle small-scale orders. Yanshan Petrochemical’s price for solid sulfur is 630 yuan per ton ； Tianjin Petrochemical is avoiding the market and waiting to see; manufacturers will not operate their plants before the end of the year ； The transaction price at Cangzhou Refinery is around 650 yuan per ton. Port prices in the local market are low; the prevailing price for imported sulfur is below 600 yuan per ton, and larger buyers can still obtain a slight discount. There is a significant gap between the prices offered in the market for imported sulfur and those of domestically produced sulfur, which results in poor actual transaction volumes. Developments in the sulfur market at Tianjin Port: It is reported that no large shipments of imported sulfur have arrived at Tianjin Port recently. Industry sources indicate that in the early stage, traders at Tianjin Port sold their goods in large quantities; the price was between 550 and 650 yuan per ton, which offered a significant advantage over the market average price.
