## Why it matters

Lower phosphate and potash prices reduce input costs for feed-grain and oilseed production in the US, which supports a softer cost outlook for feed buyers. Urea's flat price keeps nitrogen costs steady.

| Commodity | Date | Window | Change % | z-score | Why linked |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| DAP | 2019-10-31 | 1 | -4.1% | -7.2 | DTN's weekly survey, published 2019-10-30 (the day before the move), showed DAP down $14 to $465/ton, which confirms physical price weakness and likely fed futures and swap selling. |
| DAP | 2019-11-01 | 1 | -4.1% | -7.1 | DTN's survey showing DAP retail prices falling $14 to $465/ton in the last week of October points to weakening demand and price momentum, which is consistent with a sharp one-day drop in DAP just after. |
