Western Cornbelt:
TSP pricing reportedly bumped up to $530-$540/st FOB in the Western Cornbelt, fueled by several weeks of strengthening NOLA barge prices.
South Central:
TSP prices were up in the South Central region, to $535-$550/st FOB from the previous $500-$520/st FOB range, driven by firming NOLA barge values.
Brazil:
With sources noting a lack of supply, Brazil TSP prices remained at $450/mt CFR for the week. The recent shortage of product in Brazil has reportedly left the inland market vulnerable, with sellers demanding higher prices from buyers needing near-term supply. No business was reported during the week at Rondonópolis.
