摘要

Granular US MOP barge prices rose this week on tight supply and strong demand. MOP values rose by $10/st from last week to $390-400/st fob Nola. Imported barges changed hands at $390/st fob Nola for early May delivery, framing the low end of the range. Domestic tons for April shipment also traded at $390/st fob Nola late last week. The high end of the MOP range was capped by indications this week for prompt tonnage. There were also bids on Monday and Tuesday at $410/st fob for prompt barges loaded upriver at Cairo, Illinois.
