Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - The fundamental situation of the urea market remains loose and has not reversed.

Attention should be paid to potential rebound opportunities [1] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Strategy Analysis - Since the weekend, upstream urea factories have mostly reduced prices to attract orders, and low - price transactions are good. There is still room for price cuts before the National Day holiday. The daily output of urea has recovered to over 190,000 tons, and high production suppresses prices. Near the Double - Festival, downstream has pre - stocking demand, and they buy on dips.

Urea factory inventory is increasing and is much higher than the same period in previous years [1] Futures and Spot Market Conditions - **Futures**: The urea main 2601 contract opened at 1655 yuan/ton, closed at 1660 yuan/ton with a decline of 0.36%, and the trading volume was 307,400 lots (+10,142 lots).

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Internationally, Brazil is in the peak supply period, and global inventories are gradually accumulating.

So far, about 750,000 tons of export contracts have been signed and about 720,000 tons have been actually exported. It is estimated that the total export volume in the 2024 - 2025 season will be about 775,000 tons [7]. - On September 17, 2025, Hulunbuir Angel Shengtong Sugar Industry started production, marking the official start of the 2025/2026 sugar - making season, 5 days later than the same period last year.
