Metal Matters on Markets Plus: The Iran Conflict Is Upending Fertilizer Markets - Why We Care in Metals
from Markets Plus · host BMO
In this episode of Metal Matters on Markets Plus, Helen Amos and Joel Jackson discuss disruptions to fertilizer supply chains stemming from the Iran conflict. Nitrogen and sulphur prices have already seen huge gains (phosphate prices are rising too) with seemingly little slack in the system for a supply response to plug the gap. They discuss how this compares in scale with the onset of the Russia/Ukraine war in 2022, and what this means for mining operations dependant on sulphuric acid for leaching and ammonia nitrate for explosives.
