India's latest urea tender offered almost 5.6 million tonnes, well above expectations, and StoneX analysts called it a major surprise. Chinese urea exports have risen sharply in 2025, potentially exceeding 4 million tonnes.

After 81 past bearish trade events, Urea moved a median -1.0% over 5 sessions (28% higher; middle half -7.2% to +0.4%), and -5.5% over 20.
