Japan/South Korea: Prices bottom as availability tight

摘要

Prices for sulphuric acid sales from East Asia remained assessed at -$15-5/mt FOB Japan/South Korea for spot and contract. Sellers believed that FOB spot prices were now mostly in the negative single digits, and the market had reached a bottom. There is currently a lack of spot availability, with most sellers fully committed into August, while some have no availability until September.
