Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea cement and clinker FOB prices pick up in September

In September, FOB prices for bulk ordinary Portland cement and for prompt deliveries of bulk ordinary grade clinker rose in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea region.

In the same period, East African CFR prices for bagged cement contracted compared to August.

Ana Almeida, CW Group's analyst, notes: "In the Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea region, export prices are increasing on the back of the activities after the summer season. However, competition between regional players has become tougher."
