Japan/S Korea: Acid price assessment dips again

摘要

Prices for sulphuric acid exports from Japan and South Korea were assessed lower again at -$20/t to -$15/t FOB for spot and contract sales, with higher prices not attainable to any key export destinations. The latest spot business to India at $3-5/t CFR would likely net back even below the lower end of the range, though it is not clear that these deals were covered with Japanese or Korean acid. The latest sales to Southeast Asia would likely net back within the published range.
