According to data monitoring by Business Society, as of April 30, 2023, the reference average price of 30% grade phosphate ore in China was around 1042 yuan/ton. Compared with the reference price of 1062 yuan/ton on April 4 and 1, the price decreased by 20 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.88%.

From the commodity market analysis system of Shengyishe, it can be seen that in April, the overall phosphorus ore market in China showed a weak downward trend, with a narrow downward trend in the focus of the phosphorus ore market. Although the “Golden Three Silver Four” has arrived, the phosphate ore market has not experienced a significant peak season effect. The downstream market demand for phosphate ore terminals is poor, and the terminal market is dragging down the phosphate ore market from bottom to top. The overall supply and demand transmission of phosphate ore is slow, and the overall trading atmosphere on the market is light. Starting from the beginning of the month, some regional mining enterprises have lowered the prices of mid to high-end grade phosphate ore, with a cumulative reduction of about 10-30 yuan/ton. As of April 30th, the domestic market price of 30 grade phosphate ore is based on around 1000-1100 yuan/ton. The specific price may vary depending on factors such as the original ore specifications and powder to block ratio, and the specific price needs to be negotiated based on actual orders.

Future analysis

At the end of the month, the downstream terminal market demand for phosphate ore has slightly rebounded, giving businesses some confidence. In some regions, phosphate ore shipments are still acceptable. According to the phosphate ore data analyst from Business Society, in the short term, the domestic phosphate ore market will mainly operate with large and small fluctuations, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to changes in supply and demand news.
