Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market opened higher and moved higher today, showing a volatile and relatively strong trend. However, the trading atmosphere in the market has not improved. Upstream factories have started to cut prices to attract orders, but the effect is mediocre. The urea plant equipment has experienced multiple temporary inspections, and the daily production is currently fluctuating around 190,000 tons, showing a month - on - month decrease but still being high year - on - year. There is an expectation of a short - term increase in production. On the demand side, affected by the military parade, downstream melamine production in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region will be shut down one after another, and the operation of compound fertilizer plants will also start to decrease. The finished product inventory in the plants is rising, and the probability of subsequent concentrated purchases is low. The inventory in the plants has decreased slightly this period, and it is expected to continue to decrease in the short term. Although the downstream has no intention to purchase urea in a concentrated manner for the time being, the demand has resilience. With the support of exports and subsequent purchases by compound fertilizer plants, the downside space for urea is limited. Affected by the military parade this month, downstream demand will weaken in the short term, and the market will be mainly in a weak consolidation state [1] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Strategy Analysis - The market opened higher and moved higher, with a volatile and relatively strong trend. The trading atmosphere has not improved, and the price - cutting strategy of upstream factories to attract orders has limited effect. Urea plant equipment has had multiple temporary inspections, with daily production around 190,000 tons, decreasing month - on - month but high year - on - year. One enterprise is expected to resume production this week, with a short - term production increase expected. Downstream demand in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region will be affected by the military parade, and the probability of concentrated purchases is low. The plant inventory has decreased slightly and is expected to continue to do so in the short term. The demand has resilience, and the downside space for urea is limited. The market will be in a weak consolidation state in the short term due to the military parade [1] Futures and Spot Market Conditions Futures - The main urea 2509 contract opened at 1722 yuan/ton, moved higher, and closed at 1727 yuan/ton, up 0.52%. The trading volume was 91,810 lots, a decrease of 17,964 lots. Among the top 20 main positions, the long positions decreased by 11,492 lots, and the short positions decreased by 8,616 lots. Rongda Futures' net long positions decreased by 1,045 lots, Zhongtai Futures' net long positions increased by 756 lots, Guotai Junan's net short positions decreased by 2,198 lots, and Hongyuan Futures' net short positions increased by 2,066 lots. On August 12, 2025, the number of urea warehouse receipts was 3,823, an increase of 200 from the previous trading day, with 200 more from Liaoning Fertilizer [2] Spot - The trading atmosphere in the spot market has not improved, and the price - cutting strategy of upstream factories to attract orders has limited effect. The ex - factory price of small - particle urea in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei is mostly in the range of 1,660 - 1,700 yuan/ton [4] Fundamental Tracking Basis - The mainstream spot market quotation was stable and slightly weak today, while the futures closing price increased slightly. Based on Shandong region, the basis weakened compared to the previous trading day, with the September contract basis at 3 yuan/ton, a decrease of 15 yuan/ton [8] Supply Data - According to Feiyitong data, on August 12, 2025, the national daily urea production was 191,700 tons, unchanged from the previous day, and the operating rate was 81.62% [11]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The urea market is currently in a state of overall over - supply in China. The recent urea futures market has been oscillating, and after the "anti - involution" sentiment cooled down, the trend has returned to the fundamentals. Although the international urea price is strong and the export profit is increasing, the export policy has not been liberalized beyond expectations. It is expected that the UR futures will oscillate today [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Urea Overview - **Fundamentals**: The daily production and operating rate of domestic urea are still at a relatively high level, and the inventory has increased again. In terms of demand, the operating rate of compound fertilizers and melamine in industrial demand has continued to decline, and agricultural demand is expected to continue to fall. The overall over - supply situation in the domestic urea market is still obvious, while the export profit is strengthening, and the export policy has not been liberalized beyond expectations. The spot price of the delivery product is 1810 (+30), and the overall fundamentals are bearish [4]. - **Basis**: The basis of the UR2509 contract is 59, and the premium - discount ratio is 3.3%, which is bullish [4]. - **Inventory**: The comprehensive UR inventory is 1.459 million tons (-18,000 tons), which is bearish [4]. - **Futures Disk**: The 20 - day moving average of the UR main contract has flattened, and the closing price is below the 20 - day line, which is bearish [4]. - **Main Position**: The net position of the UR main contract is short, and the short position is decreasing, which is bearish [4]. - **Expectation**: The main urea contract is oscillating. The international urea price is strong, the export policy has not been liberalized beyond expectations, and the domestic over - supply situation is still obvious. It is expected that the UR will oscillate today [4]. - **Leverage Factors**: The bullish factor is that the international price is strong; the bearish factors are the high operating rate and daily production, and the weak domestic demand. The main logic lies in the marginal changes in international prices and domestic demand, and the main risk point is the change in export policy [5].

Group 1: Report Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - This week, the domestic urea spot market price showed a weak trend. The current daily production will fluctuate around 190,000 - 200,000 tons. In August, many previously shut - down plants are expected to resume production, and some new capacity plants are expected to be put into operation, so the supply pressure is expected to increase. On the demand side, the production start - up of autumn compound fertilizers continues to increase, but the downstream dealers' enthusiasm for picking up goods is insufficient, and the finished product inventory still faces great pressure. In the short term, the high inventory of autumn fertilizers suppresses the production enthusiasm of enterprises, and the support for the procurement demand of urea raw materials is weak. The futures price may continue to fluctuate weakly, and the market should pay attention to the support level performance around 1,680 - 1,700 yuan/ton on the disk [4].
