Enxofre e ácido sulfúrico
Visão geral
O mercado global de enxofre passou por mudanças fundamentais nos padrões de compra, rotas comerciais e preços nos últimos anos. Contratos de preço fixo e indexação baseada em fórmulas tornaram-se as maneiras dominantes pelas quais os suprimentos são comprados e vendidos em todo o mundo, o que torna avaliações precisas de preços e análises detalhadas essenciais para qualquer participante do mercado de enxofre.
A indústria global de ácido sulfúrico viu mudanças estruturais nos últimos anos e novas capacidades continuarão desafiando o equilíbrio nos próximos anos. Enquanto a demanda será impulsionada por fertilizantes — predominantemente o aumento da produção de fosfato e sulfato de amônio — o mercado continuará exposto a choques de fornecimento de curto prazo, especialmente do setor de metais.
A crescente demanda por materiais de bateria, como níquel e cobalto (devido ao crescimento da produção de veículos elétricos), por sua vez, reforçará a demanda por enxofre e ácido sulfúrico, aumentará a concorrência pela oferta e os preços de impacto.
Nossa ampla cobertura de mercado inclui enxofre formado (tanto granulado quanto granulado), enxofre em pedaços triturados, enxofre fundido/líquido e ácido sulfúrico. A Argus tem décadas de experiência abrangendo esses mercados e incorpora nossa experiência de mercado multicommodity em áreas-chave, incluindo fosfatos e metais, para fornecer a narrativa completa do mercado.
A Argus apoia os participantes do mercado com:
- Avaliações de preços (diárias e semanais para enxofre, semanais para ácido sulfúrico), dados proprietários e avaliações de comentários de mercado
- Previsão de curto e médio a longo prazo, modelagem e análise de preços de enxofre e ácido sulfúrico, oferta, demanda, comércio e projetos

Kuwait's KPC drops August sulphur price by $85/t
Kuwait's KPC drops August sulphur price by $85/t
London, 4 August (Argus) — Kuwait's state-owned sulphur producer KPC has set the August Kuwait Sulphur Price (KSP) at $865/t fob Kuwait, down by $85/t from the July KSP of $950/t fob. Freight rates as of 30 July were $140-145/t for a 30,000-35,000t shipment to Chinese ports. This implies a delivered cost of $1,005-1,010/t cfr, although additional insurance premiums are raising prices further on a delivered basis. Additional costs are said to be as much as $200/t for a 30,000-35,000t vessel, accounting for both freight and additional insurance premiums payable for those vessels willing to accept a higher risk of entering the strait of Hormuz, implying a delivered cost as high as $1,065-1,070/t cfr China.

Abu Dhabi's Adnoc rolls over August sulphur price
London, 4 August (Argus) — Abu Dhabi's state-owned Adnoc has rolled over its August sulphur official selling price (OSP) for the Indian subcontinent at $1,000/t fob Ruwais, stable on its July OSP. Adnoc's August OSP implies a delivered price of $1,140-1,142/t cfr India, with the freight cost for a 40,000-45,000t shipment to the east coast of India last assessed at $140-142/t on 30 July. Shipping costs have increased by $35/t since the July price was set, following the collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire deal, translating to a corresponding increase in delivered prices implied by the fob level. Additional costs such as insurance premiums, on top of higher bunker costs, could elevate delivered price levels further.
