Qatar's liquefied natural gas exports are collapsing:
The 10-day moving average of Qatar LNG exports is down to just 33 tons, the lowest since the 2008 Financial Crisis.
This marks a -90% drop since February and is -85% below the average seen over the last 10 years.
This comes as the world's largest LNG export facility at Ras Laffan has not shipped a cargo over the last 5 days, the longest streak in data going back to 2008.
Qatar is the world’s 2nd largest LNG supplier, responsible for ~20% of global deliveries, with most exports headed to Asia.
Asian importers are now rushing to secure alternative sources or cutting supply to end-users, including fertilizer plants and industrial consumers.
Global energy flows are under historic pressure.
If the war in Iran doesn't end soon, food prices are about to skyrocket. Spot Urea +30% since the war began because 50% of urea moves through the Straits.

While everyone chased oil, I made the case for nitrogen fertilizer.

U.S. FERTILIZER STOCKS RISE AS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT CONTINUES TO DISRUPT SHIPPING THROUGH STRAIT OF HORMUZ
🔸CF INDUSTRIES CLIMBS 7.6%
🔸MOSAIC RISES 6.2%
🔸U.S.-LISTED SHARES OF NUTRIEN UP 3.2%
U.S. FARMERS SEEK HELP AS FERTILIZER PRICES SOAR
The Strait of Hormuz disruption is sending fertilizer costs sharply higher, straining U.S. farmers ahead of planting season.
Zippy Duvall urged President Donald Trump to:
🔸Use the U.S. Navy to secure maritime fertilizer shipments.
🔸Lift import duties on certain fertilizers, including from Morocco and Russia.
Prices are climbing fast: urea +12% to $611/ton, potash +9%, ammonia +15%, while grain futures, including soybeans, hit multi-year highs.

🚨 The Strait of Hormuz isn't just an oil chokepoint.
🚫 50% of global urea exports — stuck
🚫 50% of global sulfur exports — stuck
🚫 25-35% of traded ammonia — stranded
💥 Qatar's largest LNG complex — offline
🌾 Spring planting is weeks away. There is no fertilizer reserve.

OIL JUMPS AS MIDEAST WAR CHOKES SUPPLY
Brent Crude climbed above $83 a barrel as the escalating conflict involving Iran disrupted energy flows across the Middle East. The biggest concern is the Strait of Hormuz, where tanker traffic has plunged over 95% as shipowners avoid the route despite insurance being available. The chokepoint normally carries about 15 million barrels of oil per day, according to the International Energy Agency. Governments and refiners are scrambling to protect supplies.
China has told refiners to halt fuel exports, while companies in Japan and India are seeking emergency measures. Analysts warn prices could spike further if attacks hit tankers or energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, diesel prices in Europe have already surged more than 40% since the conflict began.
