US Gulf:
The latest UAN barge indications continued in the $202-$205/st ($6.31-$6.41/unit) FOB NOLA range, though no actual trades were confirmed during the week. An increase in terminal prices from CF on Sept. 19 may push the next NOLA business higher.
Eastern Cornbelt:
UAN-32 was steady at $235-$265/st ($7.34-$8.28/unit) FOB in the Eastern Cornbelt for most of the week, depending on location. Sources said CF raised prices $2-$5/st on Sept. 19, however, pushing terminal levels to $245/st ($7.66/unit) FOB Mount Vernon, Ind., $250/st ($7.81/unit) FOB Cincinnati, $248-$255/st ($7.75-$7.97/unit) FOB in Illinois, and up to $278-$280/st ($8.69-$8.75/unit) FOB in Michigan.
Western Cornbelt:
UAN-32 was unchanged at $240-$260/st ($7.50-$8.13/unit) FOB in the Western Cornbelt, depending on location. The St. Louis market reportedly firmed to $250-$255/st ($7.81-$7.97/unit) FOB during the week, up $5/st from last report, with the lower end of the range reflecting CF’s updated reference price on Sept. 19.
Southern Plains:
The UAN-32 market was quoted at $225-$250/st ($7.03-$7.81/unit) FOB in the Southern Plains, with the low reported in Oklahoma and the high in Texas.
South Central:
UAN-32 was pegged at $225-$245/st ($7.03-$7.66/unit) FOB terminals in the South Central region, with the low reported in Louisiana and the high out of Ohio River terminals in Kentucky.
Southeast:
The UAN-32 market remained at $235-$250/st ($7.34-$7.81/unit) FOB in the Southeast, with the low confirmed out of port terminals and the high at inland terminals in Georgia.
France:
No updates were reported for UAN at Rouen, with demand unlikely to pick up in earnest until October. As a result, prices were unchanged at €240-€250/mt FCA.
