Kuwait's state-owned sulphur producer KPC has set the October Kuwait Sulphur Price (KSP) at $820/t fob Kuwait, down by $45/t from $865/t fob in September.

Freight rates were last assessed at $150-160/t for a 30,000-35,000t shipment to Chinese ports on 1 October from Middle East ports inside the strait of Hormuz. Freight costs are persistently high as a result of the volatile security situation. This implies a delivered cost of $970-980/t cfr China.

Delivered granular sulphur prices have fallen by 8pc, from $1,050/t cfr China on midpoint basis on 6 August to $965/t by 1 October, reflecting growing global demand destruction from unworkably high raw material prices for fertilizer producers and chemical industry sulphur buyers.

Lower prices from suppliers are expected to lead to some return of spot demand from consumers, once the downstream economics become workable for the majority of sulphur consumers.
