A group of 39 US lawmakers, with bipartisan support, asked the Commerce Department to cut countervailing duties on Moroccan phosphate fertilizer from about 20%. They said US farmers are short of supply, with the US needing to import 2.7 million tonnes against demand of 7.4 million.
They also said US DAP prices run 11% above Brazil and 8% above India.
Lower duties would let more Moroccan DAP into the US, easing the supply gap and pressuring domestic DAP prices. The request is not yet a decision, so the effect is still prospective.
Tras 40 eventos bajista de comercio pasados, DAP se movió una mediana de -0,1 % en 5 sesiones (38% al alza; mitad central entre -3,7 % y +0,5 %), y -2,4 % en 20.
