US Gulf:
Citing a tight market, reports of production interruptions from sulfur burners, and rising international prices in Europe and Asia, import price ideas in the US Gulf firmed to $60-$65/mt CFR, up from $55-$65/mt CFR at last report.
Brazil:
Brazil prices lifted to $75-$80/mt CFR, up from the week-ago $70-$75/mt CFR. Sources noted both reduced availability in the European market and steady freight rates contributing to the stronger values.
