The shortage has worsened with the decreasing volumes of Spanish Navelate. Moreover, the Valencia deliveries have been stable but not large enough to compensate the Navelate deficit. In this context, the prices have remained very firm. The last available volumes at production stage (5 % of the production) have been sold at a very high price (135 % higher than the average). The situation has remained favourable for the Maroc late sales. The first limited volumes of SAR Navelate have been received and prices have been very high (1.00-1.10 ?/kg for grade 5/6)
