January Sees Another Contraction for Med Basin and Persian Gulf – Arabian Sea Cement FOB Prices
On a monthly basis, cement prices continue to drop, according to the CW Research’s January update to Med Basin, Persian Gulf – Arabian Sea and East Africa Cement and Clinker price assessment.
Greenwich, CT, January 21, 2016 --(PR.com)-- “Our previous month's forecast has proven to be true: not only did price contractions become more contained, but we are actually witnessing a slight increase of trade prices for OPC clinker coming from the Middle East. Notwithstanding this encouraging sign, traders are still cautiously conservative in regards to the outlook for prices in the following months,” explains Raluca Cercel, Consulting Analyst with the CW Group’s European team.
In January 2016, Med Basin prices for prompt deliveries of bulk ordinary Portland cement fell more than 1 percent, while in Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea region, FOB prices for prompt deliveries of cement declined 3+ percent. CFR prices for bulk cement confirm the declining trend in the first month of the year, by dropping more than 5 percent.
Export prices for ordinary grade clinker in bulk declined in January 2016 in Med Basin, however in Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea trade prices increased. CW Research analysts consider this month-on-month variation as contrary to the trend seen in the last months of 2015.
CW Research’s leading role in the global cement and clinker sector forms the underpinning for the monthly price assessment. Price points are based on the analyst team’s on-going discussions with cement traders, producers, exporters and other stakeholders in the business and reflect a synthesis of actual traded cargos.
