1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found 2. Core Viewpoints - The current urea market is supported by exports, with port inventories accumulating but expected to drive down social inventories. Domestic demand is weak, and the medium - and long - term supply - demand pattern is loose. Future prices are mainly driven by export effectiveness and domestic demand recovery speed, and there is still medium - and long - term supply pressure [10] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Market 3.1.1 Contract Market - On September 10, 2025, the price of the main urea futures contract fluctuated and declined, closing at 1669 yuan/ton, with a maximum of 1692 yuan/ton and a minimum of 1668 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 169,000 lots, a decrease of 13,000 lots from the previous day, and the open interest was 283,000 lots, an increase of 15,000 lots from the previous day [2] 3.1.2 Variety Price - The latest price of urea2509 was 1613 yuan/ton, down 12 yuan or 0.74%, with an open interest of 4753 lots and a trading volume of 89 lots. The latest price of urea2510 was 1633 yuan/ton, down 17 yuan or 1.03%, with an open interest of 12959 lots and a trading volume of 2029 lots. The latest price of urea2601 M was 1669 yuan/ton, down 17 yuan or 1.01%, with an open interest of 283349 lots and a trading volume of 168507 lots [6] 3.2 Spot Market 3.2.1 Spot Price and Basis Data - The overall urea spot prices in major domestic regions remained stable, with slight differences in some areas due to demand. Representative factory quotes were: Henan Xinlianxin in Central China at 1720 yuan/ton (basis 51 yuan/ton), Ningxia Petrochemical in Northwest China at 1530 yuan/ton (basis - 139 yuan/ton), Ruixing Group in East China at 1650 yuan/ton (basis - 19 yuan/ton), and Hualu Hengsheng in North China at 1660 yuan/ton (basis - 9 yuan/ton) [7] 3.3 Influencing Factors 3.3.1 Industry Information - Export policy is a key factor affecting urea prices. Attention should be paid to the large - scale urea import tender of India's NFL (with a record - high bid volume) and its final procurement result. In September, as an important window for urea export, the accelerating port collection speed has led to a continuous increase in port inventories. The export volume in August and September is expected to be considerable, which may lead to a decline in social inventories. The superimposed effect of accelerated exports and the seasonal recovery of domestic demand also needs to be observed [8][9] 3.4 Market Outlook - The current urea market is supported by exports, with port inventories accumulating but expected to drive down social inventories. Domestic demand is weak, and the effectiveness of manufacturers' price cuts to attract orders is limited. Agricultural autumn fertilizer demand starts slowly, and industrial demand is restricted. On the supply side, production is at a high level, the operating rate will rise, and with new production capacity, the medium - and long - term supply - demand pattern is loose. Attention should be paid to the resonance point of export growth and the seasonal recovery of domestic demand. Future prices are mainly driven by export effectiveness and the recovery speed of domestic demand, but medium - and long - term supply pressure remains [10] 3.5 Demand and Supply 3.5.1 Demand - Domestic urea manufacturers have lowered prices to attract orders, but overall trading is light. Agricultural autumn fertilizer demand is gradually starting, and industrial downstream (compound fertilizers, melamine) mainly makes rigid - demand purchases. Due to previous important events, the operations of the panel and compound fertilizer industries were restricted, resulting in weak overall industrial demand [12] 3.5.2 Supply - The operating rate of the urea industry is expected to rise. Against the background of high production levels, with the release of new production capacity, the medium - and long - term market supply - demand pattern remains loose [12]
