Export interest from the US to Asia continued this week, which was effectively capping US prices near 102 cents/lb. “There was a deal done for export to Asia, and it was a couple of cents below contract," a source said. "If something is going to trade, it's going to be at a level that can justify an export to Asia." The contract for March settled at 104 cents/lb last week, up 5 to 7 cents from last month. In February, the contract was split at 97 and 99 cents/lb. The spot deal this week was heard at 102 cents/lb, flat to last week's assessment.
