# Farmer Fertilizer Focus - Urea

> StoneX analyst Josh Linville says global urea values are likely to stay under pressure as Russian tons reach the market and China may begin exporting. India's tender has finished, and the world is entering its seasonal low-demand period. North American demand is expected to surge in spring but may come too late to support prices.

## Why it matters

Ample supply and weak demand point to lower urea prices, so buyers have little reason to lock in forward needs now. Any Chinese export decision or unexpected demand would be the main upside risks.
