Most fertiliser stocks were trading in the negative territory on Monday, a day after Rajya Sabha passed two key farm bills amid ruckus by opposition members and farmer protests. The Upper House passed by voice vote the Farmer's Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, and the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020.

"These reforms have the potential of opening up many private mandis that are far more efficient, automated and mechanized, thus, replacing age-old practices in the Statesponsored mandis.

The overall trend is promising till the counter defends Rs 140 levels on the downside. The 100-WMA and 50-WMA are in the process of making a positive crossover. If that happens, then the stock is expected to absorb all the selling pressure and conquer the 200-WMA, simultaneously providing breakout towards Rs 220 levels, as per the weekly chart.
