In China, dry-season electricity price increases and production controls lifted the average yellow phosphorus price 0.45% over the week, while weak downstream demand limited gains. Wet-process phosphoric acid quotations held steady despite volatile sulfur prices; industrial-grade monoammonium phosphate prices edged down, with slow inventory clearance and cautious purchasing from agricultural and new-energy customers.
The outlook for the phosphorus chemical chain remained weak, with possible further pressure on acid and industrial MAP prices.
Higher seasonal power costs and production controls lend some support to yellow phosphorus, but weak fertilizer demand, ample supply and cautious buying weigh on phosphate products. Further price declines in industrial MAP and phosphoric acid could lower input costs for buyers, while limiting near-term upside in phosphate markets.
