- Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The urea market is expected to oscillate within the valuation range. The domestic fundamental pressure is relatively high, but the downward driving force is mitigated by policy regulation. In November, with mid - stream replenishment and the fourth batch of export quotas driving speculation, spot trading has continuously improved, and upstream enterprises are expected to be in a stage of slight destocking [2]. - The 01 contract of urea has a strong fundamental pressure level at 1,680 - 1,700 yuan/ton, and the lower support is expected to be at 1,550 - 1,560 yuan/ton. In terms of trading strategies, for single - side trading, it is expected to oscillate with short - term support and medium - term correction; for inter - period trading, it is recommended to go short on the 1 - 5 spread when it is high and go long on the 5 - 9 spread when it is low; there is no recommendation for inter - variety trading [2]. 3.
