ASPHALT WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

ROCKY MOUNTAIN MARKET

Rocky Mountain asphalt prices were assessed higher in a number of markets this week, as June prices were no longer available, and uncommitted supply was tight. Retail price assessments moved sharply higher in some areas. The recent reported allocation of polymers by some chemical suppliers was making it extremely difficult for asphalt suppliers to produce modified PG grades. Supply of uncommitted wholesale asphalt barrels was difficult to find. Limited regional wholesale supply was due to recent coker startups and weak refining margins. Wholesale selling prices were higher this week.

In New Mexico, asphalt markets this week were adjusting to some higher July prices from some suppliers, as well as the end of much lower priced June supply.  There also were reports of substantial premiums for highly modified asphalt grades, due to the tight availability and higher prices for polymer. Market assessments sharply rose this week. In northern New Mexico, selling prices were mostly reported in a narrowed range, between $575-625/ST for base paving grades. In southern New Mexico, selling prices were assessed between $600-625/ST for base grades. Prices in neighboring West Texas were reported as low as $550/ST, with posted prices as high as$675/ST in Lubbock for PG 64-22.
