| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| UREA | 2025-06-02 | 1 | -19.1% | -12.5 | Dated on the move day: China resuming urea exports and being barred from India's 1.5 Mt tender point to more supply and less demand for Chinese product, a bearish shift in trade flow expectations, though a -19% one-day drop is far larger than this alone explains. |
| UREA | 2025-06-03 | 5 | -21.5% | -6.9 | China resuming urea exports and being barred from India's tender, plus Russian urea redirected by EU duties, adds supply to non-India markets and removes buyers' fear of scarcity, a bearish driver. |
| UREA | 2025-06-02 | 5 | -21.1% | -10.0 | China resuming exports, Russian urea being redirected to other markets, and Chinese product barred from India's tender add supply to non-India markets, bearish for prices. |
| UREA | 2025-06-01 | 1 | -19.1% | -12.5 | It says China is set to resume urea exports and that Chinese product is barred from India's tender, while Russian urea is redirected to other markets, adding supply-side bearish pressure and uncertainty. |
