bluconnection opinion and outlook 2018

temporary shutdowns of indigo suppliers continued and supply remains tight.
since may, prices have increased more than expected. they are still relatively higher than known price changes in raw material and environmental related cost.
for the fourth quarter 2018 product availability is expected to improve. prices should stabilize on high level.
considering our indigo production experience and based on present known raw material prices and cost for environment, safety and health, a price level around 6.50 usd/kg for indigo granular should be envisaged by the indigo and denim community.
present reality indicates price levels of 8.00 to 8.50 usd/kg until year end.
