Egyptian Chemical Industries (Kima) cut its gas intake by 20% from November 1 after a directive from its gas supplier. The company said its urea plant is still operating normally and it is assessing the impact of the reduced supply.
Gas curtailments at Egyptian nitrogen producers can tighten urea export availability, which supports global urea prices. The plant is still running, so the effect is a potential risk rather than a confirmed loss of output.
After 49 past bullish logistics events, Urea moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (45% higher; middle half -1.3% to +2.2%), and -0.4% over 20.
After 93 past logistics events, Natural Gas moved a median -3.6% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -10.7% to +4.7%), and -0.3% over 20.
