Potassium carbonate

Potassium carbonate prices fell this week. It can be seen from the above figure that the potassium carbonate market has been choppy and consolidated recently, and the market has declined slightly this week. The supply of domestic potassium manufacturers is normal, and the market price of potassium chloride fluctuates and consolidates. Border trade orders have not yet been fully determined. Downstream procurement remains just in demand. The market turnover is light, and the potassium carbonate market drops. According to the statistics of the business agency, the quotation range of domestic industrial grade potassium carbonate mainstream factory this week is about 9000-9300 yuan/ton (the quotation is for reference only), which varies according to the procurement situation.

Recently, the quotation of domestic mainstream potassium chloride manufacturers is stable. The potash fertilizer market fluctuated slightly. It is reported that new orders for border trade may have been signed, but the specific amount has not been determined. 62% of Yingkou Port’s white potassium is quoted at 3700-3750 yuan/ton, 62% of Zhanjiang Port’s white potassium is 3680-3700 yuan/ton, and 62% of Fangcheng Port’s white potassium is 3680-3700 yuan/ton.

Recently, the potassium chloride market has been consolidated at a high level, and the cost support is fair. The demand of downstream factories is average. It is expected that the price of potassium carbonate will fall mainly in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see.
