1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The urea market is in a low - valuation and weak - driving pattern. The downward movement of the futures price is supported by cost, while the upward space is restricted by supply and weakening demand. Price fluctuations are continuously narrowing, and the implied volatility of options has returned to historical lows. Although the current reality is still weak, the enterprise profit is at a low level, so the downward space is limited. If there is further positive news, the price is expected to break out of the trading range. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to long - position opportunities on dips [12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Market Review**: Price fluctuations gradually narrowed, and the price closed slightly lower throughout the week. The actual agricultural demand weakened, the compound fertilizer start - up rate increased, and the export volume was moderate. The overall performance was average, the basis of the futures market was weak, and the inter - month spread was at a low level in the same period. It is currently in a low - valuation and weak - driving pattern, and the further downward space is expected to be limited, but there is a lack of effective positive factors for an upward movement [12]. - **Fundamentals** - **Supply**: The domestic enterprise start - up rate was 83.22%, a week - on - week increase of 1.24%, and it was at a medium - to - high level year - on - year.

The enterprise profit was at a low level, and the fixed - bed production was in the red. The agricultural demand is gradually entering the off - season, and the export is progressing moderately, showing a rather dull performance [12]. - **Valuation**: The export profit was at a high level, and the domestic market was relatively undervalued. The price ratio with related varieties was at a medium - to - low level, indicating that the valuation of urea was low [12]. - **Inventory**: The port inventory was 46.4 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 1.9 tons.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of urea is 1, with a range from -2 to 2, indicating a "neutral" view [3] 2. Core View of the Report - In the short - term, there may be a rebound. The Indian tender in the international market drives up the international urea price, increasing the flow rate of the second - batch export quota. With the increase in market speculation, compound fertilizer factories may purchase autumn fertilizer, increasing the elasticity of export and compound fertilizer demand, which will drive up the spot and futures prices of urea. In the medium - term, after the release of speculative sentiment, the overall fundamentals of urea may weaken again, and the price is expected to rise first and then fall [3] 3.
