| Commodity | Date | Window | Change % | z-score | Why linked |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| DAP | 2024-03-04 | 1 | +6.6% | 12.9 | China's announcement on 2024-03-04 of a 7 Mt DAP/MAP export quota resuming March 15 is a major supply and trade-flow signal that could trigger sharp repricing, though easing supply would normally be bearish, so the direction of the +6.55% move is not clearly explained and may reflect a rush to cover ahead of or amid the clarity. |
