The domestic MAP market maintained a weak trajectory this week, with the price center continuing to shift downward and quotations remaining chaotic. The mainstream ex-factory quotation for 55% powder MAP in Hubei ranged from 3,650 to 3,850 CNY/ton. High-end quotes were mostly floor prices with virtually no transactions; low-end prices hovered around 3,600 CNY/ton, with actual orders negotiated case-by-case. The autumn fertilizer market is entering its final phase, with lackluster shipment performance for compound fertilizer finished products, as some raw materials had already been stocked up earlier. Additionally, inventory levels at both MAP producers and social stocks are generally ample, leading to weak restocking willingness among downstream compound fertilizer enterprises. Meanwhile, the continuous appearance of low-priced supply has further suppressed purchasing enthusiasm. Lacking strong support, the market continued its downward trend.
The domestic DAP market showed overall weakness this week, with the market center persistently declining. Enterprise price adjustments were limited; the ex-factory price for 64% DAP in Hubei remained stable at 4,800–4,850 CNY/ton, with actual deals still under negotiation. Grassroots demand is following slowly, keeping market sentiment under pressure. Some traders chose to dump goods at lower prices to accelerate shipments, thereby pulling down the overall transaction center. Pessimistic sentiment continues to spread, resulting in significant disparities between high and low market prices, with particularly notable price cuts in industrial channels. Downstream procurement pace remains slow, and overall trading activity is tepid.
