Stable salmon prices for next week

Price level stays at this year’s low.

“The market is quite soft. Currency fluctuations play a role. The heat wave in Europe, combined with holiday, makes it quiet,” says an exporter to SalmonBusiness.

He notes that the market has not settled, but sees price stability.

“It is fairly stable,” comments another exporter. [factbox]

That’s identical to what a third exporter refers to. He also points out the logistical challenges in the wake of transit problems in Russia as an element that has contributed negatively to the market.

“Stable at 1-4 (kilograms), a notch up for 4-5, and it tightens on the big fish. There is a currency gain from last Friday,” says a trader.

“Customers are asking for stable prices. We take it easy. We buy what we need and go for back to back [contracts] with the rest,” he says, before adding: “There is more than enough small fish.”

“A little up and stable :),” writes a salesman at a larger aquaculture company in a text message to SalmonBusiness.
