Fertilizer Price Surge Lifts Crop Futures as ADM Hits 52-Week High

The impact of the U.S.-Iran war sent natural gas prices sharply higher, leading to an increase in global fertilizer prices and pushing major agricultural futures such as wheat and rice upward. Fertilizer is a key input directly tied to crop production costs, so higher prices added cost pressure across the grain market. The trend also became a positive factor for grain-processing companies. Global grain company ADM reached a 52-week high, drawing investor attention. As energy price gains linked to the war spread into fertilizer and agricultural markets, related company shares also moved higher. Source: mk.co.kr
