European nitrates prices have fallen since October as gas supply improved and nitrogen plants restarted. Dutch day-ahead gas dropped to the low €20s/MWh by early November, far below the summer peak of €350/MWh.
Lower gas feedstock costs and returning production are pushing nitrate prices toward breakeven, while soft urea prices keep buyer demand subdued.
After 113 past macro events, Urea moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -2.0% to +3.3%), and +3.7% over 20.
After 59 past bearish macro events, Natural Gas moved a median +1.3% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -5.0% to +5.2%), and -2.0% over 20.
