Weekly Sulfur Review: Prices Continue to Decline Slightly Author/Source: Date: 2016-03-14 Clicks: 1 Last week (3.5–3.11), domestic sulfur market prices continued to fall slightly. At the beginning of the week, the average ex-factory price for granular sulfur in China was around 824 yuan per ton, while by the end of the week it had dropped to around 805 yuan per ton, a decrease of 2.31%. Current prices are 39.70% lower than those of the same period last year. 　　Last week, domestic sulfur market prices continued to decline. The market was influenced by a cautious attitude, resulting in little activity; both buyers and sellers showed little enthusiasm, with transactions mainly consisting of small, sporadic orders. In terms of ports, most ports continued to experience a sluggish market situation. The price of granular sulfur at the Yangtze River port remained at 790–800 yuan per ton, while the price of granular sulfur at Fangchenggang port was 850 yuan per ton; the price of powdered sulfur there was 800 yuan per ton. Inventory levels in these ports were relatively high. The overall atmosphere in most parts of the harbor is quiet. 　　Last week, the sulfuric acid market saw limited fluctuations and remained stable overall. Currently, the prevailing ex-plant price for sulfuric acid used in smelting in the East China region is around 300–360 yuan per ton, while the price for 98% mineral-based sulfuric acid is also around 300–360 yuan per ton. In the short term, the sulfuric acid market is expected to remain stable ； In the downstream ammonium phosphate market, the general trend remains stable. Manufacturers’ production facilities are operating normally; a few factories have slightly lowered their quotes, while most prices remain unchanged. Domestic demand for fertilizers has decreased somewhat, yet shipment volumes have remained largely stable. It is expected that prices will stay steady in the near term. 　　Recently, the sulfur market has performed poorly: shipments from ports have been slow, and trading activity in the market has been weak. Affected by weak demand from downstream industries, sulfur producers face significant pressure to reduce their inventory levels, and it is unlikely that there will be any major changes in the market situation in the short term. 　　Demand in the sulfur market remains sluggish with limited fluctuations; a cautious attitude among market participants persists, and the sulfur market continues to operate in a stable and subdued manner.

#Quick response here: #SulfurWeeklyReview: Prices continue to decline slightly. Author/Source: Date: 2016-03-21. Clicks: 1. Last week (3.14–3.18), domestic sulfur market prices continued to drop slightly. At the beginning of the week, the average ex-factory price for granular sulfur in China was around 805 yuan per ton, while by the end of the week it had dropped to around 797 yuan per ton, a decrease of 0.99%. Current prices are 39.98% lower than those of the same period last year. 　　Last week, the domestic sulfur market remained in a state of hesitation and wait-and-see, while overseas prices saw a slight decline. There was no significant improvement in demand, and there were no positive factors to boost the market; thus, supply and demand were locked in a stalemate. Saudi Arabia has continued to reduce prices since April, so it is unlikely that sulfur prices will rise in the short term. In terms of ports, sulfur prices remain relatively stable across most ports; the Yangtze River port continues to show a downward trend. The price of granular sulfur is around 730–740 yuan per ton, with prices still trending downward ； Transactions at Qingdao Port are mainly small-scale, and the trading atmosphere is sluggish. The reference price for bulk powder at the port is 740–750 yuan per ton, while the reference price for small packets of granules is 800 yuan per ton. 　　Last week, the sulfuric acid market remained stable.
