Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating [1][2][3] Core Viewpoints - The urea market is affected by news, with the futures market showing a strong trend. The current urea guidance price remains unchanged, and manufacturers have no pressure in pre - holiday orders. It is expected that the price will remain firm before the Spring Festival [2] - In January, some gas - based and technical - reform enterprises resumed production, increasing the supply. On the demand side, agricultural demand for winter and spring fertilizers is ongoing, and manufacturers' pre - holiday orders are mostly completed. Some off - season reserve supplies will be released in February. Near the Spring Festival, the compound fertilizer production rate decreased, while the melamine production rate increased, with rigid demand for procurement. Overall, the inventory in urea factories decreased, and the port inventory increased slightly [2] - Due to the situation in Iran, the international urea price has risen.

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - The unilateral strategy is bullish with a sideways trend, suggesting a "Long" rating for the urea market [3]. - The cross - period strategy recommends a long position on the UR05 - 09 spread when it is low, implying a positive outlook for this spread [3]. - There is no cross - variety strategy recommended [3]. 2. Core View - Urea production and sales have improved. In the first half of the week, snow and rain in some areas affected logistics, cooling the market trading atmosphere and causing spot prices to stabilize or decline. Manufacturers lowered prices to attract orders, and production and sales improved. The supply increased as some gas - based and technical - reformed enterprises resumed production in January. On the demand side, there was some procurement for winter and spring fertilizers, and off - season storage procurement was ongoing. The resumption of production in the compound fertilizer and melamine industries led to increased demand. Overall, urea inventories in factories and ports decreased slightly. International urea prices rose due to the situation in Iran, but there is no new news on domestic export quotas. Continued attention should be paid to export dynamics, the national off - season storage rhythm, and the sustainability of spot procurement sentiment [1][2]. 3. Summary by Directory I.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral - Inter - period: UR05 - 09 buy low for positive spread arbitrage - Inter - variety: None [3] Core Viewpoints - Partially affected by snow and rain, logistics was hindered, market trading cooled, and spot prices were stable with a slight decline. Manufacturers cut prices to attract orders, and some trading improved. In January, some gas - based and technical - reformed enterprises resumed production, increasing supply. On the demand side, some winter and spring fertilizers started to be purchased, and off - season storage procurement was in progress. The environmental protection restrictions in some areas for compound fertilizers were lifted, leading to increased production and better procurement. Melamine plants resumed production, with increased operation rates and rigid - demand procurement. Affected by weather and logistics, new order trading was average this week, but the demand in the Northeast drove inventory reduction in Inner Mongolia. Overall, the in - factory inventory of urea decreased, and port inventory decreased slightly. Affected by the situation in Iran, international urea prices rose, but there was no new news about domestic export quotas. Continued attention should be paid to export dynamics, the national off - season storage rhythm, and the sustainability of spot procurement sentiment [2] Summary by Directory 1. Urea Basis Structure - On January 21, 2026, the closing price of the urea main contract was 1779 yuan/ton (+4).

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The downstream procurement and fertilizer preparation cannot keep up with the continuous upward movement of the futures market. The spot market drags down the futures price. Although the snow and rain weather affects the fertilizer preparation process in North China, the approaching spring plowing limits the downward adjustment of the futures price. It is recommended to go long on dips [2]. - Currently, the supply and demand of urea are both strong, and the overall trend of urea is expected to be bullish [7]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Spot Market Dynamics - The market trading atmosphere has weakened. Factories are mainly fulfilling previous orders, and some factories have started to reduce prices to attract orders after digesting their orders. The ex - factory prices of small - particle urea from factories in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei range from 1690 to 1730 yuan/ton [2][4][5]. 3.2.

After reaching a high of 1820 yuan/ton last Thursday, it is in a technical correction. The basis has strengthened, and as of January 19, the 05 - contract basis was - 22 yuan/ton, a weekly increase of 21 yuan/ton. The number of urea warehouse receipts was 13,355, a week - on - week increase of 155 [7][9]. 3.3. Urea Supply End - Last week, the weekly urea production increased. From January 8 to January 14, the weekly urea production was 1.4051 billion tons, an increase of 33.5 million tons from the previous period, a week - on - week increase of 2.44%. The average daily production was 200,700 tons. Coal - based production increased by 1.66%, and gas - based production increased by 7.96%. Small - particle production increased by 3.59%, and large - particle production decreased by 1.87%. It is expected that 3 - 5 enterprises will resume production in the next cycle.

International Market - International urea prices continue to rise due to the Iran geopolitical conflict. The market is skeptical about the resumption of plant production, and China is expected not to over - open exports under the background of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices in the first quarter. As the global urea demand period approaches, international urea prices are bullish [23]. - As of January 19, the FOB prices of small - particle and large - particle urea in different regions have increased to varying degrees, with some prices remaining unchanged [23][25].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The unilateral strategy is to be oscillating and bullish, the UR05 - 09 is recommended to conduct long - short arbitrage at low prices, and there is no cross - variety strategy [3] Core View - After the New Year's Day in 2026, the environmental protection restrictions in some areas of urea were lifted, the transaction improved, the futures market was oscillating and bullish, which further boosted the spot purchasing sentiment, and the spot price increased slightly. The mainstream producers continued the limited - purchase policy, and the pending orders increased. The supply increased as some gas - based and technical - reform enterprises resumed production in January after the gas - based maintenance in the fourth quarter started in December. The off - season storage procurement was in progress. The sentiment in the compound fertilizer market cooled down due to the raw material supply - guarantee policies, but the start - up rate rebounded and the procurement improved after the environmental protection restrictions were lifted in some areas after New Year's Day. Melamine had rigid demand for procurement. The inventory in urea plants and ports decreased slightly. The Indian NFL urea import tender on January 2nd received 3.62 million tons of bids from 26 suppliers, with the lowest quotes rising by $5 - 8 per ton compared to the previous tender, which boosted the international urea market sentiment. The domestic export quota has no new news, and the export dynamics, compound fertilizer raw material procurement rhythm, national off - season storage rhythm, and the sustainability of spot purchasing sentiment need continuous attention [2] Summary by Directory 1.
