The Iran war has pushed investors toward fertilizer-related stocks, but the trade involves more than one moving part, according to MarketWatch.

The outlet says the fertilizer trade tied to the conflict around the Strait of Hormuz is best understood as three different trades that can point in different directions.

MarketWatch also highlights China as a key risk factor that could complicate the expected impact from the Iran-linked disruption, implying investors need to account for factors beyond the immediate geopolitical shock.
