- Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the domestic urea spot market price stopped falling and rebounded. With the resumption of some previously shut - down plants, supply is expected to increase. On the demand side, agricultural top - dressing demand is gradually weakening, while the operating rate of compound fertilizer enterprises has rebounded from a low level, and the inventory of autumn fertilizer has increased. The expected export quota still has a certain impact on the market, and the increase in goods shipped to ports has led to a continuous reduction in urea enterprise inventories. In the short term, although facing the pressure of increased supply and weakening agricultural top - dressing demand, the marginal improvement of autumn fertilizer and export demand still strongly support urea. Coupled with the overall strong commodity atmosphere driven by macro - policy expectations, the futures price may continue to fluctuate strongly in the range of 1720 - 1850 yuan/ton. Follow - up attention should be paid to changes in export quotas and raw material procurement for autumn fertilizer [5]. 3.
