In Egypt it is thought that 1 person may have been killed and a number of others wounded this past weekend in riots between the army and protesters.    Protesters want the nitrogen facility shut down and no future expansions (which were planned for new year) allowed to occur due to concerns over pollution.  This facility and port handle most of the nitrogen exported from Egypt.  It immediately firmed Egypt prices $15 to 20 US ST and we saw some firmness in NOLA.  How long the nitrogen facility and port will be shut down is unknown.
