While most in the game were expecting flat to slightly increased export prices for May, there was more than a few double takes when prices were released by export companies near $10/JAS cubic metre above April levels. This puts A grade in the $160s/JAS, which is the highest since the extremely short price spike of 1993. This is not because of low shipping costs or foreign exchange rates, it s purely a supply-and-demand imbalance situation caused by strong demand in China and poor supply from other regions.
