This is where the 2026 shock departs entirely from the Covid template — and from virtually every prior energy shock in living memory. The pandemic was an energy and demand event. It did not disrupt the molecular supply chains that underpin food production. The Gulf crisis does — through a direct and well-documented transmission mechanism that markets have barely begun to price.
The link between the Gulf and global food production is not a single thread — it is four simultaneous inputs, each hitting the same chokepoint at once. Markets have focused almost entirely on the gas-to-urea channel. That is the least of it.
