    A Fertilizer Crisis is Brewing (Quickly) | StoneX’s Josh Linville on How Iran War & Strait of Hormuz Closure Has Shut of Critical Fertilizer Chemical Feedstocks That Threaten Global Grain Supply

    Sponsor: Teucrium Corn Fund (NYSE Arca: CORN): https://teucrium.com/corn In this episode of Monetary Matters, StoneX Vice President Josh Linville explains how the Iran War and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have triggered a global fertilizer crisis that is currently crippling agricultural economics. With urea prices effectively doubling in just a few months, Josh warns that the market is facing a supply shock far more severe than the 2022 crisis because current grain prices aren't high enough to offset these surging input costs. The geopolitical bottleneck in the Persian Gulf has effectively sidelined three of the world's top ten urea exporters, removing enough nitrogen from the market to cover nearly the entire US corn crop. Beyond shipping delays, recent attacks on energy infrastructure in Qatar and Iran have caused structural damage that experts estimate could take three to five years to fully repair. This massive loss of production capacity, combined with a lack of global stockpiles, means the market must now find balance through aggressive demand destruction. Consequently, the price floor for critical fertilizers has likely been raised for the remainder of 2026, forcing farmers to make difficult choices about planting and yields. Join us as we explore the long-term implications for global food security and why the current "bleeding red" financial state of farming might lead to higher agricultural commodity prices.

Chris details how farmland performed as a portfolio diversifier during the Great Financial Crisis and explains why the relative value compared to other regions and essentially free access to 300-years of groundwater them has focusing on the U.S. Mid-South region. He highlights global water scarcity, food security, and inflation as macro drivers for this farmland, but he also argues that rising values and yields from technological improvements and increased demand for non-farming purposes like solar power are how they have delivered S&P 500 beating net returns since 2021.

  5. “Deflationary Bust” A Risk From AI | Alex Gurevich’s Bull Case on Rates, “Perfect Trade” Potential in Japan, and The Risk of Artificial Intelligence Poses to Labor Market

    “Deflationary Bust” A Risk From AI | Alex Gurevich’s Bull Case on Rates, “Perfect Trade” Potential in Japan, and The Risk of Artificial Intelligence Poses to Labor Market

    In this interview, Alex Gurevich of HonTe Investments outlines his macroeconomic outlook, highlighting a particularly bullish stance on the platinum and palladium markets because they historically follow long cycles that lag behind gold and silver. He predicts that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence will initially act as a deflationary headwind, potentially automating away 20% of jobs by the end of the decade and permanently eliminating certain white-collar economic activities. To combat this impending deflation and job loss, he anticipates that the Federal Reserve will be forced to drastically cut short-term interest rates—possibly down to zero—alongside the introduction of massive government stimulus. Because of this dynamic, Kovich views being long on short-duration bonds as a "dominant trade" that can succeed under multiple economic outcomes, though he remains uncertain about the trajectory of long-term rates and therefore favors a steeper yield curve. Furthermore, he envisions a long-term AI-driven prosperity boom but warns that the massive compute power required will inevitably lead to a severe global energy bottleneck. As part of this AI infrastructure build-out, he specifically notes that there will not be enough copper on the planet to support the necessary power demands.

    Joseph Stiglitz: Higher Oil and Food Prices From Iran War Risk 1970s-Era Stagflation

    Learn more about Teucrium’s Soybean ETF (SOYB) here: https://teucrium.com/soyb Nobel Laureate in Economics Joseph Stiglitz (who holds highest #1 D-Index than all other Economists in the world) joins Jack to discuss the recent war in Iran, artificial intelligence, and his macroeconomic views. Dr. Stiglitz warns that the conflict in Iran is likely to have much more serious consequences for the U.S. & world economy than the Trump administration expected. In particular, the disruption of energy production could very well create an energy crisis similar to the one seen in the U.S. in the 1970s. Jack and Dr. Stiglitz also discuss Stiglitz’s work, including the recent The Road to Freedom, which touches on inequality, the cost of war, and economic freedom. Finally, they go over the effects of AI on employment and what the collapse of an AI bubble would mean for the economy. Recorded on March 9th, 2026.
