Western Cornbelt:
LSB Industries Inc. on Sept. 23 announced a $50/st increase for ammonium nitrate, pushing reference prices to $440/st FOB Lamar, Mo.; $450/st FOB St. Joseph, Mo.; $455/st rail-DEL in the Midwest; $460/st rail-DEL in the Southeast; and $500/st DEL in the Western U.S.
France:
Yara reported late in the week that it is sold out of ammonium nitrate 33.5 (YaraBelaExtran33.5), just a couple of days after hiking its posted prices for November deliveries in France to €475/mt bulk CPT. The company has since withdrawn the offer.
