- Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week's view was that the guiding price suppressed the spot market, which remained stable. This week's view is that due to policy pressure, urea will mainly fluctuate. The ex - factory prices in mainstream regions have been firm since the weekend, with stable market sentiment and average trading volume. Urea enterprises have received few orders. In Shandong, the ex - factory price is expected to remain firm; in Henan, although the market sentiment has cooled and the order - receiving volume has declined, the ex - factory price is also expected to be firm. In the areas around the delivery zone, the ex - factory price is expected to remain stable. The daily output of urea has increased to around 223,000 tons, and the supply has reached a new high. The international market price is firm, and India has tendered for 150 million tons again, with an expected price of no less than $500 per ton. However, there are no new quotas in China, so the overall impact is limited. The operating rates of compound fertilizer plants in the Central Plains and Northeast regions have gradually increased, but they mainly make rigid - demand purchases. After a significant inventory build - up during the Spring Festival, urea enterprises' inventories have started to decline slightly this week. With the continuous rise in prices and approaching demand, downstream buyers have started to purchase. Under current policy pressure, the upside of the spot price is limited, and the futures are expected to fluctuate strongly following the movement of crude oil. Relevant departments have issued consecutive documents to suppress the urea price. The trading strategy is to go short on a single - side basis without chasing the short position, and to wait and see for arbitrage and over - the - counter trading [5]. 3.
