PLAN
Demand Certainty
The absence of firm orders (0% certainty) means demand signals are weak; recommend waiting for customer confirmations before securing additional supply.
Wait for demand to firm up before sourcing
Only 0% of demand is from firm contracts. Monitor and re-evaluate as contracts are signed.
Reasoning: With zero percent firm demand and 254 ST of the 913 ST requirement derived from uncertain forecast, reducing exposure by deferring the additional purchase order is prudent until demand visibility improves.
Risk:
Committing to 254 ST of inventory against purely speculative demand creates unnecessary working capital risk and potential overstock exposure.

PLAN
No action needed
Existing purchase plans from Asia Palm totaling 659 ST at $1,060/MT adequately cover the forecasted June 2026 demand of 913 ST at Tacoma, with a planned 254 ST additional order closing the gap.
Risk:
No immediate risk; current commitments provide sufficient coverage for expected volume.
