## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Russian nitrogen and phosphate producers are likely to lift spot and near-term offer prices, citing the surge in foreign requests following the Hormuz crisis. Emerging-market importers in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia will face tighter bargaining conditions and may accelerate tenders to lock in supply. This will feed into higher forward crop input costs and eventually into global food price expectations. Confirmation would be higher offer indications from major Russian exporters and reports of accelerated tenders in key importing countries; denial would be stable or discounted offers despite reported demand.

## Drivers

- Reported broad-based increase in global demand for Russian fertilizer post-Hormuz escalation
- Global concern over supply-chain resilience in essential commodities
- Russia’s need for hard currency amid tightening sanctions elsewhere
