　　Refineries in various regions raised their overall quotations based on their own shipments, and solid and liquid sulfur increased by 30-80 RMB/ton simultaneously.

The domestic refineries were operating normally. Traders mainly purchased on demand. The external prices were firm and the insiders had a better mentality.

　　Market outlook

　　At present, the domestic sulfur market is running at a high level. The downstream phosphate fertilizer market, domestic demand and export orders are improving, and the domestic spot supply is tight. The market is mainly up, which has better support for sulfur. The market players have a better mentality, and the market outlook for the sulfur market will continue to be strong, with specific attention to market transactions.
