Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea cement and clinker FOB prices slide in November

Major players are targeting new markets to keep up with their production quotas

In November, trade prices for bulk ordinary Portland cement and for prompt deliveries of bulk ordinary grade clinker declined in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea region.

In the same period, East African CFR prices for bagged cement remained pretty much unchanged compared to October.

As noted by Ana Almeida, CW Group's analyst: "A few major players are focusing on targeting new markets in the coming year in order to keep up with their production quotas."
