Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating [1][2][4] 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term high - level correction and medium - term entry into a volatile pattern. In the short term, with a large amount of speculative funds leaving the market on Friday night, the commodity index dropped from a high, and methanol futures followed suit. Also, as the basis strengthens, it is expected to release the liquidity of spot and futures sources in the spot market, bringing supply - side selling pressure. In the medium term, methanol is expected to fluctuate. The "anti - involution" policy and supply - side optimization expectations support the overall valuation of commodities, and the domestic methanol maintenance volume has increased while the July import volume is low, leading to a short - term contraction in domestic supply and unexpected inventory reduction at ports [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the methanol main contract (09 contract) was 2,519 yuan/ton, up 39 yuan from the previous day; the settlement price was 2,500 yuan/ton, up 35 yuan.

The visible unloading of foreign vessels was only 9.20 tons, and the slow ship - entering speed in Zhejiang dragged down the unloading. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the pick - up and consumption were stable, and the inventory in East China decreased significantly. The inventory in the South China port continued to accumulate. In Guangdong, both imported and domestic vessels arrived, but the downstream demand was weak, and the inventory increased. In Fujian, the inventory increased slightly [4] - **Price Trend**: Short - term correction and medium - term volatility. In the short term, due to the departure of speculative funds and the strengthening of the basis, methanol futures corrected. In the medium term, it will fluctuate because of the "anti - involution" policy and the short - term contraction in supply [4] 3.4 Trend Intensity - The trend intensity of methanol is - 1, indicating a relatively bearish view, with the value ranging from - 2 (most bearish) to 2 (most bullish) [5]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - Urea is experiencing a short - term high - level correction and will enter a mid - term oscillation pattern. In the short term, with a large amount of speculative funds leaving the market on Friday night, the commodity index has fallen from a high level, and urea futures are expected to follow suit. Also, with the strengthening of the basis, the liquidity of spot and futures sources in the spot market is expected to be released, bringing supply - side selling pressure to the spot market. In the medium term, urea is expected to oscillate mainly due to the ongoing anti - involution policy which supports the overall valuation of commodities, and the potential second - batch export of urea which may support the demand side. Overall, it is in a short - term correction with a unilateral weakening trend and is expected to oscillate in the medium term [3] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the urea main contract was 1,803 yuan/ton (up from 1,785 yuan/ton), the settlement price was 1,798 yuan/ton (up from 1,782 yuan/ton), the trading volume was 236,179 lots, the open interest of the 09 contract was 171,609 lots (down 2,182 lots), the number of warehouse receipts was 2,523 tons (unchanged), and the trading volume was 849.507 million yuan (up 139.148 million yuan).

Among trader prices, the Shandong region was 1,790 yuan/ton (down 20 yuan/ton), and the Shanxi region was 1,690 yuan/ton (up 20 yuan/ton). The supply - side indicators showed that the operating rate was 83.21% (up 1.04 percentage points) and the daily output was 192,650 tons (up 2,400 tons) [1] 2. Industry News - On July 23, 2025, the total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises was 858,800 tons, a decrease of 36,700 tons from the previous week, a month - on - month decrease of 4.10%. The inventory of domestic urea enterprises continued to decline this period, but the decline narrowed. With weak domestic demand, the overall order - taking and shipment of urea factories slowed down. However, due to some goods still being in the process of export collection and local downstream periodic bargain - hunting purchases, the overall urea factories showed a slight destocking. Some provinces saw an increase in enterprise inventory, while others saw a decrease. Overall, the urea trading has been weak for several consecutive days this week, and the second - batch export has not started yet. It is expected that the inventory of urea production enterprises will show a narrow - range oscillation pattern next week [1]
