Together with latest price assessments, CRU’s analysis gives insight into the market dynamics driving price movements. Recent analysis shows:
- Fertilizer prices saw the most acute price swings, with ammonium nitrate (AN) prices in Brazil leading the way with a 34% w/w gain.
- Tungsten prices surged another 18% w/w, on top of the already stratospheric gains over the past year.
- Aluminium premiums swung 16% higher w/w given Middle East supply disruptions. 161 of CRU’s prices were unchanged this week, reflecting market paralysis as producers, traders and buyers sought to reposition themselves across their respective commodities.
- The sharpest price reduction was lithium, which corrected lower after significant gains so far this year and a more uncertain demand outlook.
