A Kelewell article reports that China's NDRC held a May 7 seminar confirming export controls on MAP, DAP and urea. It describes a dual-track model where domestic prices are regulated and export prices follow global conditions.
Confirmed Chinese export controls on phosphate and urea restrict global supply, supporting higher phosphate and nitrogen prices that raise feed-crop production costs.
After 151 past bullish policy events, DAP moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.9%), and +1.9% over 20.
After 129 past bullish policy events, UREA moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.3% to +2.3%), and +1.4% over 20.
