RaboBank analysts expect fertilizer prices to settle and trend lower over the next three months, with the index's moving average falling as prices return toward pre-war levels.

After 26 past neutral report events, Urea moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -4.1% to +1.5%), and +0.9% over 20.
