U.S. Gulf: Sulfuric acid vessels imported to the Gulf of Mexico were expected to see pricing in the $40-$45/mt CFR range, flat from the previous report. Recent Brazil tons in the $45-$50/mt CFR range – along with Northwest European smelter sales called steady in the $5-$10/mt FOB range – supported those numbers.
Cargoes sold into Chile were called $10/mt above Brazil at $55-$60/mt CFR.
In the domestic market, West Coast tons were called $100-$110/mt DEL, with U.S. Gulf-delivered material quoted in the $85-$95/mt DEL range. Material destined for the Midwest carried $80-$90/mt DEL pricing, sources said.
