Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea cement and clinker trade prices remain flat in January

Prices are slowly recovering

In January, trade prices for bulk ordinary Portland cement remained flat, whereas FOB prices for prompt deliveries of bulk ordinary grade clinker edged up in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea region.

As noted by Ana Almeida, CW Group's analyst: "Cement prices are slightly recovering in the beginning of the year for exporters in the region. Inflation and higher production costs underpin such hikes."
