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

Abu Dhabi's Adnoc raises Jun sulphur price by $100/t
Abu Dhabi's Adnoc raises Jun sulphur price by $100/t
London, 5 June (Argus) — Abu Dhabi's state-owned Adnoc has set its June sulphur official selling price (OSP) for the Indian subcontinent at $860/t fob Ruwais, up by $100/t from its May OSP. This is the highest level for the OSP, according to Argus records, $40-60/t above the previous record reached in June-August 2008, when the OSP hit $800-820/t fob. Adnoc's June OSP implies a delivered price of $1,000-1,002/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 Thursday. Additional costs such as insurance premiums on top of higher bunker costs elevate delivered price levels further.

Kuwait's KPC raises June sulphur price to $805/t fob
Kuwait's KPC raises June sulphur price to $805/t fob
London, 3 June (Argus) — Kuwait's state-owned sulphur producer KPC has set the June Kuwait Sulphur Price (KSP) at $805/t fob Kuwait, up by $40/t from the May KSP of $765/t fob. Freight rates as of 28 May were $154-170/t for a 30,000-35,000t shipment to Chinese ports. This implies a delivered cost of $959-975/t cfr, with additional insurance premiums raising prices further on a delivered basis. Loadings continue for June shipments, but at a reduced rate. The delivery period for Middle East sulphur remains uncertain with the strait of Hormuz still largely closed, and no sulphur vessels crossing since last week.

QatarEnergy raises June sulphur price to $805/t fob
QatarEnergy raises June sulphur price to $805/t fob
London, 31 May (Argus) — State-owned QatarEnergy Marketing has raised its June Qatar Sulphur Price (QSP) by $65/t to $805/t fob Ras Laffan/Mesaieed. Freight rates as of 28 May were $154-170/t for a 30,000-35,000t shipment to Chinese ports. This implies a delivered cost of $959-975/t cfr, with additional insurance premiums raising prices further on a delivered basis. Delivered Middle East sulphur prices are higher compared to product from competing origins, allowing Vancouver fobs for example to rise above Middle East fobs to $990-1,100/t fob. Another problem for Middle East supply is the longer delivery time as a result of uncertain passage through the strait of Hormuz since the onset of the US-Iran war.

India’s IPL scraps sulphur tender
India’s IPL scraps sulphur tender
Singapore, 29 May (Argus) — Indian fertilizer importer India Potash Limited (IPL) has scrapped its buy tender for 593,500t of sulphur. Offers were valid until 27 May. The tender, on behalf of eight Indian companies, requested 527,500t and 66,000t for June-August delivery to the east and west coasts of India, respectively. The tender received offers for the east coast at $1,1,70-1,295/t cfr for June-July shipment, and $1,065-1,098/t cfr for August. No full cargoes were offered to the west coast, while two 3,000t cargoes were offered at $1,400/t cfr. While the lowest offer received was for a total of 593,000t at $565/t cfr, its legitimacy was unclear and was widely thought to have been disqualified at an earlier stage. Offers quoted in this tender came in above prevailing market indications, with Argus -assessed granular sulphur cfr India prices at $1,000-1,100/t cfr as of Thursday. IPL was understood to have entered price negotiations with traders, but the tender was subsequently scrapped.
