For downstream phosphoric acid, at present, the phosphoric acid market continues to operate at a high and stable level. Most enterprises with high early Quotation have lowered their prices, and some enterprises have made up a slight increase. However, most enterprises still implement the early quotation and have not made adjustments yet, so the market wait-and-see mood remains unchanged. At present, the atmosphere of high price transaction in the phosphoric acid market is light, coupled with poor logistics in some areas, shipment pressure, and the price is reduced slightly, but the cost support is still in, so the willingness to fall deeply is not strong. According to the monitoring of the business community, the current quotation in Sichuan is 6700-7300 yuan / ton, that in Hebei is about 7500 yuan / ton, that in Hubei is about 7000-8000 yuan / ton, that in Shandong is about 7300-7600 yuan / ton, and that in Yunnan is about 7300 yuan / ton.

At present, the transaction price of phosphorus ore market is getting closer to the high end, and the market price has also risen to the high point. Under the high price, the downstream demand may be weak. Therefore, phosphorus ore analysts of business society believe that in the short term, the probability of continuous rise of China’s phosphorus ore market is small, and most of them will operate stably and firmly at the high level.
