U.S. Gulf: UAN barge prices shot up last week, with one source saying they were on fire. The earlier producer posting of $290/st ($9.06/unit) FOB was quickly met, and by week’s end sellers were quoting $315-$320/st ($9.84-$10.00/unit) FOB. However, prompt business that occurred last week was called $290-$305/st ($9.06-$9.53/unit) FOB.
Eastern Cornbelt: Sources pegged the UAN-28 market at $290-$300/st ($10.36-$10.71/unit) FOB Ohio terminals, with UAN-32 quoted at $336-$345/st ($10.50-$10.78/unit) FOB in the Illinois market. One Illinois source quoted the common dealer market at the $340.80/st ($10.65/unit) FOB mark at mid-month.
Western Cornbelt: UAN pricing was working its way up, sources said. One Iowa source quoted the dealer market solidly at the $340.80/st ($10.65/unit) FOB level last week, and Missouri sources also confirmed that pricing out of river terminals had firmed to the $340/st level from a low of $320/st ($10.00/unit) FOB on a spot basis one week earlier.
Southern Plains: Sources quoted the UAN-32 market in a broad range at $315-$335/st ($9.84-$10.47/unit) FOB Southern Plains terminals, with the low end again reported out of Oklahoma production points.
South Central: The UAN-32 market had reportedly firmed to $320-$335/st ($10.00-$10.47/unit) FOB terminals in the South Central region, but sources said higher numbers would follow soon based on a firming market for replacement tons.
Southeast: The UAN-30 market had reportedly slipped to $320-$330/st ($10.67-$11.00/unit) FOB port terminals in the Southeast region, while UAN-32 pricing out of inland Georgia terminals remained at the $335 ($10.47/unit) FOB level on the low end.
