Ammonium Nitrate

U.S. Gulf: Ammonium nitrate barges continued to be called $325-$330/st FOB, but sources said a forthcoming import vessel may soon test these numbers.

While some pointed to near-term interest in AN for pastureland, others said some players are still scratching their heads over whether they want to continue to offer the product, citing the recent lawsuits and liability issues coming in the wake of the West, Texas, explosion.

Western Cornbelt: Ammonium nitrate remained in the $390-$400/st FOB range in the Western Cornbelt, with the Tulsa market pegged at the $380/st FOB mark.
