Srinuan Hirunwat/iStock via Getty Images India, the largest global buyer of urea, has agreed to purchase the fertilizer at significantly higher prices than in its last tender, reflecting supply disruptions tied to conflict in the Middle East and a sharp rise in global benchmark prices. Indian Potash Ltd., which handles imports on behalf of the government, is set to buy 1.5 million metric tons for delivery to India’s west coast at $935 per ton, along with another 1 million tons for the east coast at $959 per ton, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Those prices are nearly double the levels India secured before the regional conflict escalated, the people said, requesting anonymity because the talks are commercially sensitive. Prior to the outbreak of hostilities, Middle East-origin urea, a key source for India, was trading near $490 per ton, according to Green Markets data. More than 24 companies submitted bids in the recent tender, with offers ranging from $935 to $1,136 per ton. The purchase would mark India’s first major fertilizer procurement since U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran and arrives at a critical moment before planting season for monsoon crops including rice, corn and soybeans. Although the 2.5 million-ton tender has not yet been officially finalized, market participants expect confirmation by Thursday. India’s domestic urea production depends heavily on natural gas, much of it sourced from the Middle East and used to produce ammonia, a core ingredient in fertilizer manufacturing. Supply strains intensified after effective disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz prompted some producers in the region to temporarily shut plants last month. Indian officials are now negotiating directly with major suppliers and exporters to secure additional shipments of both nitrogen-based and phosphate fertilizers. Urea prices worldwide have climbed sharply since the conflict began. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that roughly 45% of global supply move...

Stocks are back at record highs and a familiar force seems to be in play: automated retirement contributions, otherwise known as passive investing. These steady inflows can act as an accelerant in rallies, stabilizing markets after selloffs — but they can also amplify declines when momentum turns negative. Investors were ready to add risk as portfolios reset at the start of the second quarter after a cleanup at the end of March This included a big exodus of money from equal-weight S&P 500 funds as the equity rally took hold Post-tax deadline purchases also helped lift the stock market this month Beware of flash crashes though, if momentum shifts again V-shaped recovery All I hear is superlatives to describe how the recent rally has unfolded. My colleague Tracy Alloway noted that the benchmark US index has effectively rallied over 3% per week for the last three weeks, something that’s happened only seven times in nearly 100 years. The rally has been so sharp not just because of bullish earnings forecasts and hopes for a return to normalcy in the Middle East. It’s also been driven by so-called passive investment, money that must be allocated to retirement accounts irrespective of the market backdrop. These index funds represent almost two thirds of domestic equity allocation. Passive investing adds momentum because, as the market bounced, these inflows multiplied the effect. Early this year, as worries about artificial intelligence hit a bevy of technology stocks, investors increasingly allocated funds to equal-weight exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a way of staying fully-invested in stocks while downshifting their exposure to big tech. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF added nearly $10 billion in net assets last quarter, putting it among the biggest 10 passive funds and powering an outperformance that still holds today. Fund flows lift tech Then, as the second quarter began, allocations changed. Case in point: the Invesco equal-weight fund is recording its largest...
