1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views of the Report - Urea: On Tuesday, the urea futures price opened significantly lower and then fluctuated weakly. The closing price of the main 05 contract was 1,856 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3.63%. The spot market in some areas continued to rise. The supply level of urea fluctuated at a high level, and the daily output of the industry on the previous day was 218,300 tons, a daily increase of 100 tons. The release of light storage goods will further increase the supply pressure. The demand sentiment continued to pick up, and the spot sales-to-production ratio in the mainstream areas mostly remained above 100%. The urea market is still in a stage of strong supply and demand, but the domestic ex-factory prices have reached the guidance price level for this month, and there is insufficient upward momentum in the future. The market price will fluctuate following the overall sentiment and external factors, and the policy orientation of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices will be more obvious. The futures market will still follow factors such as international situation changes and energy price trends, with increased volatility, but there is limited room for a trending increase [2]. - Soda Ash: On Tuesday, the soda ash futures price weakened rapidly after opening and then fluctuated narrowly. The closing price of the main 05 contract was 1,235 yuan/ton, a decrease of 4.49%. The spot market mostly increased, with the mainstream area spot prices increasing by 20 - 50 yuan/ton. The industry's operating rate was stable at 85.39% within the day. The demand showed a differentiated performance, and the production capacity of downstream float glass production lines was temporarily stable after water release. The rigid demand for soda ash was generally running at a low level. As the market sentiment declined, the mid - and downstream sectors were highly cautious, suppressing the procurement demand for soda ash. Overall, the improvement in the soda ash fundamentals did not continue, and the uncertainty in the international situation increased, still causing emotional disturbances to the soda ash market. It is expected that the short - term soda ash futures price will still fluctuate significantly following external factors, and the impact of fundamentals on the market will be relatively weak [2]. - Glass: On Tuesday, the glass futures price weakened rapidly after opening. The closing price of the main 05 contract was 1,138 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3.97%. The spot market showed a strong trend, and the average price of the domestic float glass market on the previous day was 1,140 yuan/ton, a daily increase of 3 yuan/ton. The glass supply level was stable within the day, and the daily melting volume of the industry on the previous day remained at 146,900 tons, but the market is still in a stage where production line water release and new line ignition alternate. The high - volume sales of glass spot continued, and the spot sales - to - production ratio in the mainstream areas was mostly in the range of 110% - 160%. The subsequent peak - season expectations for the glass terminal will still support market transactions, but the supply - demand contradiction in the glass market has not been effectively alleviated, and the influence of factors such as international geopolitics is still high. It is expected that the glass futures price will continue the trend of wide - range fluctuations, and the amplitude will still be large [2]. 3.
