U.S. Gulf: The last done barge business continued to be called $340/st FOB. Buyers are not anxious to buy at $340/st FOB, however, and sources say traders are out of product, leaving CF as the only game in town.
Sources say CF recently sold a cargo to Guatemala to help it take the steam off building inventories. Market watchers argue that based on soft international pricing, CF may have had a netback as low as $250/st FOB to Yazoo City off of the trade.
