Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View The short - term outlook for urea is to trade sideways, and the medium - term situation depends on policies. The weak domestic demand is the main contradiction. Although the fundamental pressure on urea is high and domestic demand transactions are weak, due to potential policy changes, market investment in urea is conservative. In the long - term, the terminal value expectation of the urea 01 contract remains weak, and fundamentals are the long - cycle main contradiction [2][3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Supply - **Capacity**: In 2025, the expansion pattern of urea capacity continues. The total new capacity in 2024 was 427 million tons, and the expected new capacity in 2025 is 346 million tons [25]. - **Production**: This week (20250821 - 0827), China's urea production was 1.3492 million tons, a decrease of 0.0119 million tons from the previous period, a 0.87% decrease. Next week, China's urea weekly production is expected to be around 1.28 - 1.29 million tons, a significant decrease from this period [3]. - **Cost**: Raw material prices have stabilized, and the factory's cash - flow cost line is stable. The cash - flow cost corresponding to urea currently shows a profit [33][39]. - **Net Import (Export)**: With the adjustment of export policies, subsequent export volumes may increase. The second - batch export quota has been confirmed, and exports in August and September are expected to remain high, but the second - batch export transactions are slow due to price limits [3][45]. 3.2 Demand - **Agricultural Demand**: Agricultural demand has seasonal characteristics. High - standard farmland construction has led to an incremental demand for urea from corn. Currently, the northern agricultural top - dressing demand has basically ended, and the year - on - year growth rate of top - dressing demand has declined significantly [3][51][53]. - **Industrial Demand**: - **Compound Fertilizer**: The compound fertilizer industry currently has high production and sales pressure, low operating rates, and limited demand for urea raw materials, with low acceptance of high - priced urea [3]. - **Melamine**: The melamine industry's production profit, market price, output, and capacity utilization rate are presented in the report, showing certain fluctuations [60][61][62]. - **Real Estate and Panels**: The demand support from the real estate industry for panels is relatively limited, but panel exports show resilience [63]. 3.3 Inventory - **Factory Inventory**: On August 27, 2025, the total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises was 1.0858 million tons, an increase of 0.0619 million tons from last week, a 6.05% increase. The total inventory shows an upward trend [69]. - **Port Inventory**: As of August 28, 2025 (Week 35), the sample inventory of Chinese urea ports was 600,000 tons, an increase of 99,000 tons from the previous period, a 19.76% increase. The port inventory shows an upward trend [69]. 3.4 Valuation The report presents multiple charts related to urea basis, monthly spreads, and spot prices (both domestic and international), showing the price trends and spreads of urea in different periods and regions [6][10][16][21]. 3.5 Strategy - **Single - side**: The UR2601 contract will trade sideways in the short - term, with resistance at 1780 - 1800 yuan/ton and support at 1660 - 1680 yuan/ton. In the long - term, it is recommended to short at around 1800 yuan/ton. - **Inter - period Spread**: Reverse spreads for the 9 - 1 and 1 - 5 spreads. - **Inter - commodity Spread**: None is recommended currently [3].
