Pakistan's National Fertilizer Development Centre reported October 2017 DAP sales of 387 thousand tonnes, down 22.7% from a year earlier, while urea sales rose 4.2% to 375 thousand tonnes. Total fertilizer off-take fell 8.5% to 482 thousand tonnes.
Weaker phosphate off-take signals softer domestic DAP demand, which can ease import pressure, while firmer urea sales point to steadier nitrogen demand.
After 35 past bearish report events, DAP moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (37% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.5%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 76 past bullish report events, Urea moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -2.2% to +2.9%), and -0.3% over 20.
