Prices Stabilize and Find Support
Merchants are now pricing the old crop (2012) off the March futures. Southeast spot prices are currently running 200 points (2 cents) under March for base grade 41/4-34 and 150 points over for better 31/3-35. That’s a 350 point premium for the better grade.
Today, March currently stands at just under 74 cents. Prices seem to have found a firm floor of support at the 70-cent area and are showing improvement. March has gained almost 4 cents from the most recent low about 3 weeks ago. As of right now, we’re up over 2 cents for the week.
