According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Business Society, the price of potassium sulfate with a 50% content at the beginning of this week was 3543 yuan/ton, and the price of potassium sulfate with a 50% content at the end of this week was 3510 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 0.94%.

The domestic potassium sulfate market is affected by the price of raw material potassium chloride, and the price continues to decline, with a decrease of 50-100 yuan/ton. The production of resource-based potassium sulfate manufacturers is normal, and most of the previous orders are being executed gradually. Currently, the market price of 52% potassium powder in Guotou Luo is mostly between 3600-3700 yuan/ton, and the market price of 50% potassium powder in Qinghai is mostly between 3450-3500 yuan/ton. The actual transaction may vary slightly in different regions.

The overall operating rate of downstream compound fertilizer factories has been continuously declining recently, especially for small and medium-sized compound fertilizer factories who have stated that they have no plans to resume production before the year, and the operating rate of some large compound fertilizer factories is also weakening. Therefore, the demand for raw materials is not sufficient, and procurement is limited.

Prediction: The supply-demand contradiction in the domestic potassium fertilizer market is more prominent, and there is a lack of positive support in the short term. It is expected that the domestic potassium fertilizer market prices will be mainly weak and declining in the short term.
