-11 AUGUST 2025-
Kernel prices stable and freight costs ease. Dive into this week’s global macadamia market dynamics.
📊 Market Highlights
Latest prices tick upwards: Despite recent tariffs, kernel prices across styles hold steady, while latest whole style kernel and NIS22+ transactions show an uptick in prices.
Price spreads stabilise post-announcement: Wholes-to-pieces and kernel-to-NIS spreads level out, reflecting calm trading conditions. But the longer-term price impact of US tariffs may still lie ahead.
🌍 Global Market Sentiments
A question mark hangs over ingredient style surpluses that are reported to have been generated through US buyer caution over tariffs, and what impact this will have going forward. Meanwhile, China’s promise to drop tariffs on African goods in the near future could reshape global sourcing strategies and shift market momentum once more.
💱 Freight and Forex Watch🚢
Tariff jitters briefly lift the dollar, but domestic rate decisions and concerning jobs data soon see currencies recover against the dollar.
With mid-year peaks passed and US inventories frontloaded, shipping rates on key routes soften, though Asia-Europe lanes buck the trend.
