Indian producer RCF received offers for minimum 29% P2O5 phosphate rock and for MAP and DAP in a tender that closed on 8 August. The offers were for Egyptian rock, with RCF yet to respond.
RCF had sought two 35,000 t phosphate rock cargoes and 20,000 t of MAP or DAP for delivery to Mumbai.
Indian buying of phosphate rock and MAP or DAP is a direct demand signal for phosphate fertilizers. Pricing will depend on RCF's award, and the outcome will show whether Indian demand is supporting prices.
Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 36 past neutral trade events, DAP moved a median +0.7% over 5 sessions (64% higher; middle half -0.0% to +2.1%), and +0.4% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
