US Midwest: Prices confirmed higher for prompt ammonia

摘要

New spot ammonia sales this week are up to $385-395/st FOB in the Midwest, with most of the new business west of the Mississippi River. Distributors primarily in Illinois report ammonia sales to retailers at $385-395/st FOB in recent days. This is up about $55/st from previous fill offers. Demand is described as spotty due to intermittent rain. While sellers are pleased with the price increase, volumes are expected to suffer due to the likely limited fall application window.
