Platts has updated specifications of eight Americas DAP price assessments Aug 7
Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has updated the specifications of eight Americas Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) price assessments, effective Aug. 7, 2025.
The amendments refine and evolve specifications such as quality, quantity, and timing for the assessments to better reflect the phosphate market activity dynamics in the Americas region.
The weekly phosphate price assessments are now assessed as a single "close" value with the low and high range standardized at a $1/mt interval on either side of the assessed close value.
Platts originally decided to update eight Americas DAP phosphate price assessments in a subscriber note published July 10, available here.
The affected assessments are as follows:
- DAP FOB NOLA US Domestic $/st Wkly (FDPUA04)
- DAP FCA Central Florida $/st Wkly (FDPFA04)
- DAP FOB Twin Cities Minnesota $/st Wkly (FDAPB04)
- DAP FOB Cincinnati OH $/st Wkly (FDPCB04)
- DAP FOB Quad Cities/East Dubuque $/st Wkly (FDAPD04)
- DAP FOB Ottawa/Pekin IL $/st Wkly (FDAPA04)
- DAP FOB St. Louis MO $/st Wkly (FDAPE04)
- DAP FOB Tulsa OK $/st Wkly (FDPTB04)
The updated specifications for each of the weekly assessments will be as follows:
