According to the data monitoring of Business News Agency, as of February 13, 2023, the reference average price of 30% grade phosphate ore in China was around 1074 yuan/ton. Compared with February 6 (the reference price of phosphate rock was 1056 yuan/ton), the price increased by 18 yuan/ton, or 1.70%.

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business agency that in the near future (2.6-2.13), the domestic phosphorus ore market as a whole has seen an upward movement. The climate is gradually warming up, the downstream demand for phosphate rock is gradually opening, and the mines have been started in succession. The phosphate rock industry in some regions has raised the price of middle and high-end grade phosphate rock, of which the increase in Guizhou is about 10-30 yuan/ton, and the increase in Sichuan is about 20 yuan/ton. As of February 13, 2023, the domestic market price of 30% grade phosphate ore is around 1050-1100 yuan/ton, and the price of 28% grade phosphate ore is around 950-980 yuan/ton. The reference price of 32% grade phosphate ore is around 1180-1250 yuan/ton. There is also a gap between the specific price and the raw ore specification and the powder to lump ratio, and the specific price needs to be negotiated on a real basis.

Prediction and analysis of the future trend of phosphate rock

At present, the overall trading atmosphere of the phosphorus ore market is relatively quiet. However, with the arrival of the spring planting season, the downstream demand will gradually recover. The phosphorus ore statistician of the business agency believes that in the short term, the domestic phosphorus ore market is mainly stable and strong, and the specific trend needs to pay more attention to the changes in the supply and demand information.
