Fertilizer stocks rallied Monday after potassium was added to a draft U.S. Geological Survey list of critical minerals. Intrepid Potash jumped 6.5%, The Mosaic Co. gained 3.8%, Nutrien rose 2.5%, and CF Industries added 2%. The USGS, on behalf of the Interior Secretary, proposed 54 minerals for the 2025 Critical Minerals List, citing economic and national security risks from import dependence. Potassium, key in fertilizers to boost crop yields and resilience, was highlighted. A 30-day public comment period is open before the final list is set in consultation with other federal agencies.
