StoneX's fertilizer analyst expects phosphate prices to stay firm after China told domestic producers to slow or stop exports, and China supplies about a third of global phosphate exports. Hurricane Ida removed about 300,000 tons of North American production, and Mosaic stopped selling MAP for the rest of the year while still offering DAP.
Inventories are tight and countervailing duties limit imports.

StoneX expects firm phosphate prices because China curbs exports (about a third of global trade), Ida removed about 300k tons of output, and tight inventories plus duties limit imports, all of which support DAP.
