Urea prices rose sharply at New Orleans and in Brazil after India issued an unexpected tender on September 4. NOLA urea firmed to $423-450/st FOB from $335-360 the previous week, and Brazilian imports rose to $450/mt CFR from $370-375.
The tender followed a notice from Chinese authorities that they would limit urea exports.
A new Indian tender combined with Chinese export limits tightens near-term supply and lifts global urea import prices, raising nitrogen costs for feed and grain producers.
Após 176 eventos altista de comércio passados, Ureia subiu em mediana +0,1% em 5 sessões (51% de alta; metade central de -1,3% a +2,4%), e +1,6% em 20.
