Bangladesh's government bought 30,000 tonnes of bagged granular urea at $671 per tonne, down from $876 in the previous consignment and above $900 at one point. It also bought 3.36 million MMBtu of LNG from Vitol at $25.75 per unit, below the prior $26.40.
Lower import prices from a major South Asian buyer confirm that global urea and LNG prices are easing after the spike following the Russia-Ukraine war. This points to softer fertilizer and energy input costs for feed-grain producers.
After 81 past bearish trade events, Urea moved a median -1.0% over 5 sessions (28% higher; middle half -7.2% to +0.4%), and -5.5% over 20.
