That only explains a small portion of it. It's not like all farmers in the world hold hands and lock in potash and ammonia futures at the same price on the same day.
These contracts are constantly being bought, delivered, and sold, so while it lags the spot rate, it's not unrelated.

Plus the fact that there's just under $18T in commercial deposits, so $600B is a drop in the bucket.
