1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Urea: The urea market is in a stage of strong supply and demand, but the domestic ex - factory prices have mostly reached the monthly guidance price, leaving limited room for further upward movement. The futures price is affected by global situations and energy prices in the short - term, and lacks the momentum for continuous upward movement under the domestic policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices. Attention should be paid to global political situations, energy price fluctuations, and international urea prices [1] - Soda Ash: The fundamentals of soda ash have slightly improved with the decline in production and inventory and the improvement in procurement demand. The international situation still affects the futures price sentiment, and it is expected that the short - term price will fluctuate greatly. After the geopolitical situation eases or the market prices in international disturbances, the market will return to the domestic supply - demand logic. Attention should be paid to the global situation, energy price fluctuations, and the rhythm of soda ash supply - demand changes [1] - Glass: The glass supply is decreasing, and the spot market sentiment has improved. The "Golden March and April" terminal peak season may support market transactions, but the supply - demand contradiction still exists. The impact of international market disturbances is greater than the fundamentals, and the futures price will continue to fluctuate greatly. After the market returns to rationality, the pricing will return to the fundamental logic. Attention should be paid to macro - policy dynamics, global political situations, energy price fluctuations, and the recovery rhythm of the terminal real estate [1] 3.
