The market is supported by new deals, limited supply and expectations of increased demand in September.<\/p>\n<p>Key factors:<br \/>\n\u2013 Egypt and the Middle East recovered after the previous price decline.<br \/>\n\u2013 Brazil remains an active market, although buyers are acting cautiously.<br \/>\n\u2013 Domestic and export prices in China remain firm.<br \/>\n\u2013 The expected growth in demand in the US, Brazil and India may further support the market.<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>BINFIELD assessment: the nitrogen market is gradually stabilizing. The potential for a further price decline is limited by firmer levels at key suppliers. Further dynamics will depend on demand activity and the availability of Chinese exports.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ammonium sulphate \/ AS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AS market is stable but depends on supply from China and the nitrogen segment.<\/p>\n<p>Key factors:<br \/>\n\u2013 China remains the main benchmark for buyers.<br \/>\n\u2013 Buyers are cautiously building positions due to uncertainty over delivery times, clearance and logistics.<br \/>\n\u2013 The recovery of the urea market may partly support AS.<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>BINFIELD assessment: the AS market remains subdued and less volatile than urea. When purchasing, it is important to assess not only the price but also the origin of the product and the reliability of supply.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phosphate fertilizers \/ DAP, MAP, TSP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The phosphate market remains stable but sensitive to weather, geopolitical and logistics factors. DAP shows greater resilience, while MAP remains under pressure from weak demand from Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Key factors:<br \/>\n\u2013 DAP and MAP ended the week without significant price changes.<br \/>\n\u2013 Market participants are watching tenders in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.<br \/>\n\u2013 El Ni\u00f1o (a natural climate phenomenon characterized by abnormal warming of Pacific Ocean waters) may affect yields and further demand in key regions.<br \/>\n\u2013 Transit restrictions through the Panama Canal create additional logistics risks.<br \/>\n\u2013 The market is awaiting OCP\u2019s further actions regarding supplies to Europe and Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>BINFIELD assessment: DAP is supported by South Asia and limited supply. MAP remains weaker due to the situation in Brazil, but the high cost of sulphur and production costs limit the potential for price declines.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sulfur<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The sulphur market remains one of the key cost factors for phosphate fertilizers and SOP.<\/p>\n<p>Key factors:<br \/>\n\u2013 The high cost of sulphur continues to support the production costs of DAP, MAP, TSP and SOP.<br \/>\n\u2013 Phosphate producers are planning production cautiously due to pressure on margins.<br \/>\n\u2013 Reduced utilization of certain facilities shows how raw material costs affect product availability.<br \/>\n\u2013 Logistics and geopolitical risks increase market uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>BINFIELD assessment: sulphur remains a systemic constraint for the phosphate market. Even with weak demand, high production costs do not create preconditions for a quick price decline.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Potash fertilizers \/ MOP, SOP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The potash market is stable, but demand in most regions is weak. The greatest pressure is on MOP with sufficient supply.<\/p>\n<p>Key factors:<br \/>\n\u2013 Bangladesh received offers under its tender, but demand remains below supply.<br \/>\n\u2013 New tenders are expected in Asia.<br \/>\n\u2013 Brazil may slow its purchasing pace after covering its main needs.<br \/>\n\u2013 The SOP market remains stable, but demand is restrained by high production costs.<br \/>\n\u2013 Weather risks in India may affect future buyer activity.<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>BINFIELD assessment: the potash market remains stable but is approaching a soft scenario. Weak demand limits the growth potential, while new tenders in Asia and supply reduction risks may restrain further price declines.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Overall conclusion<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>The fertilizer market enters the last week of August without a single price trend. The nitrogen segment is recovering after the correction, the phosphate segment remains under the influence of high raw material costs and limited supply, and the potash market is stable amid weak demand.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>The key risks of the 2026\u20132027 season remain product availability, delivery times and logistics reliability.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":943,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"sections-articles":[40],"class_list":["post-942","articles","type-articles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sections-articles-analitics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/binfield.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/binfield.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/binfield.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/binfield.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/binfield.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"sections-articles","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/binfield.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sections-articles?post=942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
