Analysis review   

The quotations of mainstream manufacturers of potassium chloride rose slightly this week: the weekend ex-factory quotation of potassium chloride in Qinghai Salt Lake was 1,850 RMB/ton, compared with the beginning of the week, the quotation was temporarily stable; the weekend distribution quotation of Anhui Badou potassium chloride was 2,000 RMB/ton, and compared with the beginning of the week, the quotation has increased by 100 RMB/ton. The actual transaction in the potassium chloride market this week was not good. On the whole, the main contradiction in the market was oversupply, the trading atmosphere was deserted, the downstream procurement was mainly demanded, the overall inventory was low, the purchasing market momentum was low, and the domestic potassium chloride market maintained stability.

Market outlook

The overall trend of the potassium chloride market in late September may be dominated by a low consolidation. The potassium chloride market is currently facing the oppression of three mountains, that is, the port stock is large, the demand is weak, and the international price is falling. Therefore, the main contradiction in the current market is that supply exceeds demand. The Potassium Chloride Analyst of SunSirs believes that the short-term potassium chloride market is mainly affected by the supply and demand and raw materials, and the potassium chloride market may consolidate at low levels.
