Container freight rates ex-China are bottoming out and rising slightly on several trade lanes, prompting buyers to look at lysine HCL and lysine sulphate for additional Q1 volumes. FOB China threonine prices were cut slightly by some suppliers to trigger sales after earlier increases.

Rebounding freight is pushing buyers to lock in Q1 lysine cover, which could support prices if demand picks up. Weak methionine and threonine pricing keeps the broader amino acid complex soft.
