Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. Core Viewpoint of the Report The supply of urea is increasing, with expected growth of 8 - 12% year - on - year. The daily output is likely to reach a new high in Q4. Demand is diverse: agricultural demand awaits the spread of autumn fertilization; industrial demand shows narrow fluctuations; and export demand is expected to be released in October - November. The long - term price of urea is under pressure due to supply, but short - term pulse - type price increases may occur based on seasonal factors. Attention should be paid to the support level of the 01 contract and potential positive spread opportunities [51]. Summary by Directory 1.
