The daily operating rate was 77.99%, a decrease of 6.83% compared with 84.82% in the same period last year [4] Group 4: Logic Analysis - The market sentiment was average, and the ex - factory prices of urea in mainstream regions declined with mediocre trading. In Shandong, the mainstream ex - factory prices led the decline, the industrial compound fertilizer operating rate increased slightly, with sufficient raw material inventory, high finished - product inventory, few grass - roots orders, and mainly rigid - demand replenishment. In Henan, the market sentiment was low, the ex - factory prices followed the increase, traders were on the sidelines, the order volume decreased, and the trading weakened. In the surrounding areas of the delivery area, the ex - factory prices were weakly stable, the market atmosphere cooled, the demand in Northeast China was sluggish, and the new order trading was mediocre [5] - Some plants were under maintenance, and the average daily production decreased to around 182,000 tons. The Indian tender result was about to be released, but the export window was about to close, having limited impact on the domestic market sentiment. The compound fertilizer production in Central and North China basically ended, the grass - roots stocking was coming to an end, the operating rate of compound fertilizer plants declined, the available inventory days of urea were more than half a month, and the procurement sentiment for raw materials was not high. The inventory of urea production enterprises increased by 170,000 tons to around 1.61 million tons, remaining at a high level [5] - In the short term, the domestic demand was still limited, the agricultural demand ended, the compound fertilizer had not started on a large scale, and the spot market sentiment was still sluggish. Although the price difference between domestic and foreign markets was still large, the relaxation of domestic exports provided some support to the domestic spot market sentiment. After some regions lowered the ex - factory prices, the order - receiving of manufacturers was still weak. The fundamentals were still relatively loose, and a bearish rebound strategy was recommended [5] Group 5: Trading Strategy - For unilateral trading, short positions are recommended - For arbitrage, stay on the sidelines - For options, stay on the sidelines [6] Group 6: Related Charts - The report provides multiple charts showing the trends of urea daily production, operating rate, coal - based and gas - based operating rates, production, enterprise inventory, port inventory in different regions, compound fertilizer operating rate, compound fertilizer factory inventory, melamine operating rate, and Northeast China's arrival volume from 2022 to 2025 [10][11]
