Healthy demand and limited availability continued to drive up European nitrate prices. This week, Yara announced a new list price for February deliveries of its 33.5 percent ammonium nitrate (YaraBelaExtran) in France, raising the price to €290/mt bulk CPT, up €25/mt from its previous posting for February deliveries (GM Jan 15. p. 15). The supplier once again emphasized that only limited volume was available.
