In CA we were already expecting this.

There's 20tankers sitting in the SFO bay full of oil.

America's crop growers could see fresh price spikes for inputs like fertilizer while battling a multi-year downturn in profitability, experts warned ahead of the attack."

"Prior to the attack over the weekend, certain fertilizer prices were near historic highs for this time of year, said Josh Linville, vice president of fertilizer at StoneX," Chipman and Ward reported.

"A military conflict 'could be devastating' for the global nitrogen and phosphate markets, Linville said in a note late last week prior to strikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel.
