October 20th report:
This daily report is based on the mean difference analysis system, combining the latest spot prices, upstream and downstream operations of the industry chain, and cyclical price percentiles as of October 19, 2026, to analyze the price trend of ammonium sulfate: The current price of ammonium sulfate is in a strong rebound oscillation phase with a bullish nature. In the short to medium term, the price is constrained by its position at a mid-high level, limiting the upside potential. In the long term, the 1-year cycle percentile is at a mid-low level, indicating some upward potential. On the upstream and downstream ends, the weakening price of sulfuric acid upstream is insufficient for cost support, while overall downstream demand remains stable, with no significant bullish drivers at present.
