-25 AUGUST 2025-
Calm markets mask bigger shifts in flows, timing, and market access.
📊 Market Highlights
Kernel momentum returns, but selectively: Whole styles from Australia saw a lift last week, halting the recent price slide. However, demand for industrial grades like Style 4L remains subdued.
NIS in the spotlight: A bullish run for NIS22+ continues as Asian importers push up demand. The kernel–NIS spread has narrowed on the back of NIS interest.
Price spreads diverge: Ingredient styles lag while wholes gain, widening the style spread. Expect further market realignment as traders weigh value across product categories.
🌍 Global Market Sentiments
Shipments out of key origins have upped the pace by mid-year; attention now turns to late-year supply from Asia and how processors rebalance between kernel and NIS. Vietnam’s growing role in regional processing continues to shape options.
💱 Freight and Forex Watch🚢
Dovish central-bank sentiment softened the dollar into week’s end; carriers are managing capacity as global container rates ease post-peak.
