Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Range-bound with a bullish bias - Inter-period: Wait and see - Inter-commodity: None [3] Core Viewpoints - The trading atmosphere of urea has improved, and the spot price has been raised. The restart of shutdown plants in Shanxi and Hebei and the increase in the operating rate of large enterprises in Hubei have led to an overall increase in the operating rate of compound fertilizers. The operating rate of melamine has decreased, with only rigid demand for procurement. Gradual entry of off-season storage. With the release of new production capacity, the medium- and long-term supply and demand of urea will remain relatively loose, and the gas-based plant maintenance in the fourth quarter is expected to start gradually in December. Driven by reserve demand and the increase in the operating rate of compound fertilizers, the sales of urea enterprises have improved, with inventory reduction at factories and a slight increase in port inventory. The highest domestic inventory is still in Inner Mongolia, and the reserve demand in the Northeast has increased, leading to inventory reduction in Inner Mongolia. Continued attention should be paid to the operating rate of compound fertilizers in the Northeast, the raw material procurement rhythm, and the national off-season storage rhythm. In October, 1.2 million tons of urea were exported, and the cumulative exports this year have exceeded 4 million tons. According to Argus, urea producers have obtained a fourth batch of export quotas totaling 600,000 tons, which has improved the export outlook for the end of the year and is expected to support the现货 market to some extent. The urea import tender of India's IPL closed on November 20, with the lowest CFR prices of $418.40/ton at the East Coast and $419.50/ton at the West Coast. A total of 24 suppliers' quantities were received, and the lowest price was higher than the previous one. Continuous attention should be paid to the sentiment and rhythm of domestic spot procurement.

Core Viewpoint - The domestic urea market is entering the traditional storage season in Q4 2025, with improved market sentiment supported by concentrated storage demand, steady export activities, and a rebound in the compound fertilizer industry, leading to a gradual decrease in urea inventories [1] Group 1: Production Dynamics - Urea production capacity utilization remains at 83.91%, slightly down by 0.17 percentage points month-on-month but up by 2.18 percentage points year-on-year [2] - Daily production stabilizes at a high level of 202,900 tons, ensuring overall supply remains sufficient [2] - Localized supply disruptions due to maintenance and upgrades at certain companies are offset by the resumption of production at others, maintaining regional supply stability [2] Group 2: Demand Release - Urea's absolute valuation is currently in a relatively reasonable range, with storage and fertilizer demand gradually being released, providing price support [3] - Storage progress in various regions is ahead of previous years, with significant completion rates reported in areas like Shandong and Guangxi [3] Group 3: Compound Fertilizer Industry - The compound fertilizer industry's operating rate has increased, with inventory levels decreasing, indicating improved production and sales rates [4] - The utilization rate for compound fertilizer production is at 34.61%, up by 4.29 percentage points month-on-month [4] Group 4: Export Activities - Exports have played a crucial role in balancing the urea supply-demand equation, with cumulative exports exceeding 4 million tons by October 2025 [5] - October's export volume reached approximately 1.2 million tons, significantly surpassing market expectations [5] - The latest pricing data indicates a favorable market outlook, with port inventories rising and domestic urea inventories decreasing by 46,400 tons week-on-week [5] Group 5: Market Outlook - Multiple favorable factors, including storage demand, export activities, and a rebound in compound fertilizer production, are supporting market sentiment [5] - The high daily production levels may exert some pressure on market prices, with regional price differentiation expected [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views - Urea spot new orders follow-up slowed down, and the futures market rose slightly due to export news. Agricultural autumn fertilizer production is ending, compound fertilizer autumn fertilizer production is winding up, and winter storage fertilizer production has not started on a large scale. The overall operating rate remains stable. Melamine operating rate increased slightly, with rigid demand procurement. In the medium and long term, urea supply and demand remain loose due to new capacity release. Gas-based plant maintenance in the fourth quarter is expected to start gradually in December. Affected by the export quota news, urea enterprises' shipments improved, and inventory decreased. The high inventory area is still Inner Mongolia. Attention should be paid to the start-up rate of compound fertilizer plants in the Northeast, raw material procurement rhythm, and the national light storage rhythm. The news of the fourth batch of 600,000 tons of export quotas has improved the year-end export expectation of urea, which is expected to support the spot market. India's IPL issued a new round of urea import tender on November 7, with an intention to tender 2.5 million tons, 1.25 million tons each for the east and west coasts. The tender will close on November 20, be valid until November 28, and the latest shipping date is January 15, 2026.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish [4] - Inter - period: On the sidelines [4] - Inter - variety: None [4] Core Viewpoints - Urea spot prices have slightly increased, and with the rise of the futures market, spot trading has improved. Some regions are in the process of autumn fertilizer application for agriculture, and the production of autumn compound fertilizers is coming to an end. The operating rates in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui have increased this week. As the weather clears, the sales sentiment has improved. The operating rate of melamine has declined, with only rigid demand for procurement. In the medium to long term, the supply - demand of urea remains relatively loose due to the release of new production capacity. With the improvement of the weather, the agricultural demand for urea has increased, and the inventory accumulation rate has slowed down this week. The current national inventory accumulation is mainly in Inner Mongolia. Starting from late October, compound fertilizer plants in the Northeast are gradually starting operations. Attention should be paid to the procurement rhythm in the Northeast and the national off - season storage rhythm. Urea is still affected by export sentiment, and September and October are still export windows. There is co - existence of port collection and departure, leading to inventory reduction. The export policy of urea may still change, and attention should be paid to subsequent export dynamics [3] Summary by Directory Price and Spreads - Urea futures prices: The main urea contract closed at 1642 yuan/ton (+4).

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish - Inter - period: On - the - fence - Inter - variety: None [3] Core Viewpoints - Urea spot prices have slightly increased, accompanied by a rise in the futures market, and spot trading has improved. Some regions are in the process of agricultural autumn fertilization, and the production of compound fertilizer for autumn fertilization is winding down. The operating rates in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui have increased as some previously shut - down plants have resumed production. The demand for compound fertilizer for winter wheat is mainly for inventory clearance, and due to heavy autumn rains, the demand for winter wheat fertilization has been postponed to mid - to - late October. The operating rate of melamine has declined, with only rigid demand for procurement. In the medium - to - long - term, the supply and demand of urea remain relatively loose with the release of new production capacity. As the weather improves, the agricultural demand for urea has increased, and the inventory has slightly accumulated this week, mainly in Inner Mongolia. In late October, compound fertilizer plants in the Northeast are gradually starting up, and attention should be paid to the procurement rhythm in the Northeast.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating is provided in the report. 2) Core Viewpoint The rebound of the urea futures market is mainly due to short - term profit - taking by short - sellers. The spot market remains dull, and the previously expected upward drivers (chemical anti - involution and exports) have not materialized. If there is no further change in exports and domestic agricultural demand weakens, domestic demand may struggle to absorb high supply pressure, and urea prices may continue to fluctuate at low levels. However, considering the current low valuation of urea, it is not advisable to continue short - selling. The recommended trading strategy is to wait and see [1]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs a) Price Changes - **Urea Futures Prices**: On October 16, compared with October 15, UR01 decreased by 4 yuan/ton (0.25%), UR05 decreased by 6 yuan/ton (0.36%), and UR09 decreased by 2 yuan/ton (0.12%) [1]. - **Domestic Spot Prices (Small - Granule)**: Shandong decreased by 10 yuan/ton (0.65%), Shanxi increased by 10 yuan/ton ( - 0.68%), Henan decreased by 10 yuan/ton (0.65%), while prices in Hebei, Northeast, and Jiangsu remained unchanged [1]. - **Basis and Spreads**: The spread between Shandong spot and UR increased by 4 yuan/ton, and the 01 - 05 spread decreased by 2 yuan/ton [1]. - **Upstream Costs**: The prices of anthracite coal in Henan and Shanxi remained unchanged at 1000 yuan/ton and 880 yuan/ton respectively [1]. - **Downstream Prices**: The prices of compound fertilizer (45%S) in Shandong and Henan remained unchanged at 2900 yuan/ton and 2500 yuan/ton respectively.

Report Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoint - After the holiday, urea prices dropped significantly. The potential upward drivers (chemical anti - involution and exports) did not materialize. Due to the uncertainty of export policies, the domestic market's response to India's new tender during the National Day was limited. If there is no further change in exports and domestic agricultural demand weakens, domestic demand may struggle to absorb high supply pressure, and urea prices may continue to fluctuate weakly. However, considering the current low valuation of urea, short - selling is not recommended. The trading strategy is to wait and see [1].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral; Inter - period: After the export window period, conduct a reverse spread on UR01 - 05 when the price is high; Inter - variety: None [3] Core Viewpoints - The domestic spot market of urea has manufacturers reducing prices to attract orders. After the prices in Shandong and Henan fell below the previous lows, the trading volume improved, but the sustainability was weak. Before the National Day, the purchasing sentiment was difficult to maintain at a high level, showing regional differentiation. The overall order intake of upstream manufacturers was okay, and the subsequent prices are expected to be mainly stable. The domestic demand is weak, and the inventory in urea factories continues to accumulate, mainly in Inner Mongolia. Attention should be paid to the start time of demand in the Northeast. In the medium - and long - term, the supply and demand of urea are still relatively loose. The export side still has a great impact on the sentiment of urea prices, and attention should be paid to the dynamic changes in exports. In September, the export window period is still ongoing, and the export of urea is accelerating.
