TAIHEIYO KOUHATSU INCORPORATED <8835> surged sharply, reaching its highest level since 2014. Katakura & Co-op Agri Corporation <4031> also posted significant gains, renewing its year-to-date high for consecutive days. More than a month has passed since the U.S. and Israel launched military operations against Iran, and the Middle East conflict shows no signs of resolution. On the 28th, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants attacked Israel, marking a new phase in the conflict and raising concerns over prolonged disruptions to fertilizer raw material transportation. Although risk-averse sentiment dominates the stock market, buying interest in fertilizer-related stocks continues on speculation of earnings boosts from rising fertilizer prices. OAT Agrio Co., Ltd. <4979> opened with a gap up and surged sharply.
