hab vor wenigen Minuten den neuen unabhängigenk 2500 usd teuren FMB Weekly Fertilizer Report bekommen:
k+s hat diese Woche die Preise in Westeuropa für standard sMOP um 11,1% erhöht! Die Preiserhöhungen für das Granulat MOP (ist ca. 60 euro pro tonne teurer) sollen nächste Woche bekannt werden. Dort werden ca. 630 euro pro tonne erwartet (laut fmb vor zwei wochen). nachdem der euro aber schwächer geworden ist und das standard mop schon um 11% zulegte kann man vielleicht sogar mit mehr als 630 euro pro tonne rechnen. Zur Erinnerung innerhalb europas ist das Kali günstiger als z.B. in indien oder brasilien, da ca. 150 usd/tonne transportkosten wegfallen.
Laut FMB ist dagegen der Preis für Nitrogen/urea Dünger stark eingebrochen. fiel in den letzten wochen um 200 usd pro tonne. allerdings ist dies darauf zurückzuführen, dass man für die Herstellung von Nitrogen den rohstoff Ammoniak benötigt. die preise für ammoniak sind stark gefallen. mit der preissituation auf dem kalimarkt hätte dies nichts zu tun.
Hier das wichtigste vom Report:
EU:/W. EUROPE: K+S Kali has settled contract prices for standard MOP with all its customers now, mostly NPK manufacturers, the last one concluding at the beginning of this week. The price level is understood to be very close to €600 pt cif/cfr and all prices are within a dollar or two of each other in northern Europe and for major buyers throughout. Smaller buyers in southern Europe could pay more to account for the higher freight costs. K+S Kali switched to a three-month period for July- September when the price was about €60 less at around €540 pt. The new price is also for three months to end-December. Such is the volatility of the exchanges rates that when K+S started its talks the €600 was equivalent to around $870 but fell first to $845 then rose to $885 but is now back to $845 today!
K+S Kali is expected to make an announcement on granular MOP prices next week.
K+S Kali has also settled prices for standard SOP with the NPK manufacturers. Here the price is very close to €760 pt cif/cfr. Again exchange rates moved this from $1,100 at the start of the talks then dropped to $1,070, moved up to $1,120 and is back at $1,070 pt today.
Greece: Outside of the above, K+S Kali has also booked a total of 6-7,000t granular SOP to bulk blenders in this market, which will be shipped in two or three lots over October and November. The exact price has not been disclosed but is known to be over €780 pt cfr, which currently is above $1,100 pt.
Italy: There are unconfirmed reports that 5-6,000 granular SOP for delivery over September and October has been sold to blenders in this market. Again the price is thought to be over €780 pt cfr.
CANADA:/UNITED STATES: There has been no change in the situation regarding the strikes at three PotashCorp’s mines. No talks have been held or are scheduled to be held.
The main talking point today, 2 October, has been the free-fall in shares prices of Mosaic and PotashCorp, down 25-30% on the day at the time of writing. Mosiac announced it first-quarter results (see Company News below) that, despite being well up on a year ago, failed to meet analysts’ forecasts. This, plus the general weakness in the US stock market while the bank rescue package remains in limbo, was compounded when Merrill downgraded Mosiac and other fertilizer stocks.
ASIA: This region has seen Crude Palm Oil prices drop from a high of Ringgits 4,400 pt briefly in February to a range of 3,300-3,700 during most of the summer but then down to as low as 2,000 pt in mid-September. Since then it has most fluctuated between Ringgits 2,100-2,300 pt. Even at this level, CPO is highly profitable when production costs are not much more than 1,000 pt. However, the plantation owners are going to be cautious in view of the fragile state of the developed economies around the world.
Cargoes of standard MOP continue to be shipped at $1,000 pt cfr and Canpotex has several vessels on the water now destined for these markets, as does BPC. Since BPC’s shipments to China and India began under the contracts it has been short of product for other markets in Asia.
Indonesia: BPC will be loading another cargo of 25,000t standard MOP in the latter part of October.
Despite the CPO prices, there are reports this week that MOP stocks are not as high as suggested by some a few weeks ago. (habe heut übrigens bei gut 47 verkauft nachdem die kanadischen potashwerte vorbörslich noch weiter abschmierten. fundamental sieht es jedoch gut aus. selbst wenn sich die kalipreise halbieren hat k+s ein deutlich einstelliges kgv. man muss jetzt also den richtigen punkt zum wiedereinstieg finden. im momentanen börsenumfeld ist fast alles möglich wie man sieht) |
