Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2) Core Viewpoint The urea fundamentals remain loose. The current rebound is mainly driven by increased purchases from traders at low prices and the strengthening of the energy - chemical sector stimulated by the Israel - Iran conflict, mostly led by market sentiment with no obvious improvement in fundamentals. The upward trend may not be sustainable, but the upcoming agricultural demand and export will limit the price movement range [1]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Strategy Analysis - The urea futures market continued to rebound by nearly 4% today, and upstream factory prices increased to varying degrees, boosting market sentiment and downstream trading atmosphere. The price increase this week was also affected by the Israel - Iran conflict, which stimulated the domestic price through the expectation of international supply disruption. - On the supply side, the daily production of urea remained above 200,000 tons, with narrow long - term fluctuations, suppressing the upward movement of the market. - On the demand side, agricultural fertilizer preparation improved, with corn top - dressing in the Northeast about to start and agricultural demand in North China expected to start next month. The compound fertilizer factories had a decreased operating load, slow progress in autumn fertilizer production, and difficulty in inventory reduction, resulting in weak demand for urea. - Last week's inventory data showed an increase in factory inventory. After the export of goods at the end of the month, the inventory pressure will be relieved [1].
