Farm To Fame – Global Ammonia Market Tight, Blue & Green Growth Prospects Continue To Sprout

Key Points:

  • US ammonia prices and margins remain at the high end of the 30yr range, and we discuss why this market could stay tighter for longer than most other chemical chains.
  • NW Europe and Asia natural gas prices have fallen from recent highs but are notably above US levels. Electricity costs in the US and Europe are both much higher YoY.
  • US spot ethylene, benzene, and propylene prices reflect levels much closer to twelve-month lows than highs, and global derivative prices face downward pressure.
  • Linde announces plans to produce green hydrogen from hydropower in NY, and this project shares many similarities with our MS Delta hydropower & industrial project.
  • We highlight the shrinking US trade deficit, helped by strong US energy exports, flag general trends in global freight rates, and note improving North American rail trends.
