  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the domestic urea spot market price showed a strong upward trend. Recently, urea enterprises had a mix of device maintenance and复产, and the supply was expected to decline in the short - term and then recover. On the demand side, there was an expected marginal weakening of agricultural top - dressing demand. The capacity utilization rate of compound fertilizer enterprises increased slightly, and the start - up was expected to gradually recover from a low level after the second half of the month, with finished product inventory still in the process of de - stocking. Regarding exports, export expectations were frequently disturbed recently, and the domestic - foreign price difference remained high. The domestic urea port inventory had increased to 48.9 tons month - on - month. Overall, agricultural demand replenishment and export release drove the continuous de - stocking of urea enterprise inventory. Macro and export expectations strongly disturbed the futures market. In the short term, the urea futures price might continue to fluctuate and consolidate. The upper resistance level of the UR2509 contract was around 1,780 - 1,800 yuan/ton [4]. 3.
