Chile operating without major changes

Chile’s purchasing pace from its two main suppliers remained stable last week, both in price and volume. One importer reported deals for the 19/20 cuts from Brazil at US$/t 5,950–6,000 CFR, while Paraguay was shipping in-transit loads priced at US$/t 6,100–6,200 CFR.

The source said that, for now, no “significant jump” in prices is expected for July and August deals, prior to the September national holiday demand season.

Meanwhile, a Paraguayan exporter told WBR they had closed July shipment deals at US$/t 6,500, above the levels seen the previous week.
