The Nitrogen Index held steady this week, supported by strong loaded barge values in the US Gulf granular urea market. Yet, sentiment has turned in the market owing to the anticipated resumption of Chinese export business. Offers of bulk volumes of prilled and granular urea have emerged from China for the first time since Q3 2024, much to the benefit of buyers in SE Asia, Latin America and elsewhere. The news has impacted liquidity in the global market with many importers deferring inquiries.
