Summary by 6ix AI

Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIAX), which operates regulated financial markets, announced on October 21, 2026 the launch of four fertilizer futures contracts on MIAX Futures. Futures are agreements to buy or sell a commodity at a set price on a future date; these are physically settled, meaning they end in delivery of the fertilizer rather than a cash payment.

Key details

  • The four contracts are NOLA Urea (ticker MGU), NOLA Mono-ammonium Phosphate (ticker MAP), NOLA Di-ammonium Phosphate (ticker DAP) and NOLA Potassium Chloride (ticker MOP) futures.
  • The contracts trade on the MIAX Futures Onyx electronic trading platform and are cleared through MIAX Futures Clearing.
  • MIAX Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Gallagher said the futures provide a transparent, exchange-traded mechanism for managing risk and establishing price discovery during times of uncertainty. He said one third of all fertilizer traded by sea passes through the Strait of Hormuz and that volatility in the region exposed vulnerabilities in the supply chain.

MIAMI and PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIAX®) (NYSE: MIAX), a technology-driven leader in building and operating regulated financial markets across multiple asset classes, today announced the successful launch of four physically-settled fertilizer futures contracts on MIAX Futures® — NOLA Urea (Ticker: MGU) Futures, NOLA Mono-ammonium Phosphate (Ticker: MAP) Futures, NOLA Di-ammonium Phosphate (Ticker: DAP) Futures, and NOLA Potassium Chloride (Ticker: MOP) Futures.

The four new products are traded on the MIAX Futures Onyx electronic trading platform and cleared through MIAX Futures Clearing. 

"Imported fertilizer is a vital input for global food production and with one third of all fertilizer traded by sea passing through the Strait of Hormuz, ongoing volatility in the region exposed significant vulnerabilities in the commodity's supply chain," said Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX. "MIAX Futures' physically-settled fertilizer futures provide a transparent, exchange-traded mechanism for managing risk and establishing price discovery during times of uncertainty."

"Volatility in global fertilizer markets reinforces the importance of risk-management tools and price transparency throughout the supply chain," said Roger Baker, Vice President, Crop Nutrients Product Line at CHS, a leading global agribusiness and the largest farmer-owned cooperative in the United States. "Customers and suppliers benefit from having access to tools and strategies that can help manage risk as they make purchasing, production and marketing decisions."

"MIAX Futures has worked closely with the agricultural industry for over a century, and we remain committed to supporting the needs of our customers with product and technology innovation," said Shelly Brown, Chief Strategy Officer of MIAX and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX Futures.
