国内长假期间，尿素现货价格延续弱势下行。当前，尿素市场供应维持高位，下游采购态度谨慎，整体 弱势格局尚未改变。 供应压力持续 9月，受部分尿素企业计划检修及晋城地区企业停车改造影响，尿素产量略有收缩。据隆众资讯统计，9 月尿素产量为578万吨，环比下降2.51%，同比增幅收窄至2.54%。然而，在产量环比下降的同时，尿素 企业库存却连续7周累积。截至9月25日，企业库存达121.82万吨，较8月底增长12.19%，同比上升 20.15%。库存逆势增长表明，尽管产量回落，但其收缩幅度不及需求下降速度，市场供应宽松格局仍 未改变。 此外，隆众资讯监测显示，8月下旬，安徽中能、山东晋控日月及新疆新冀能源合计180万吨尿素产能正 式投放，尿素市场供应能力进一步增强。 从周度产量节奏看，9月下旬以来，前期检修装置集中复产叠加新产能释放，尿素日产量已见底回升。 截至9月25日当周，尿素周度日均产量达20.15万吨，显著高于往年同期水平。预计9月末至10月上旬， 在装置检修与复产交替影响下，产量规模将保持相对稳定，高供应压力仍将持续。 当前尿素下游需求支撑较弱。农业方面，9月是传统氮元素需求淡季，冬小麦底肥播种虽带来一定需 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - In Q3, urea prices were boosted multiple times by domestic anti - involution measures, urea export quota news, and the friendly relationship between China and India. After the domestic positive news was realized, domestic demand was weak, prices declined successively, and the spot decline was greater than the futures decline, gradually turning into futures premium [5]. - In the context of loose supply and demand, urea remains in a weak - running state. The spot price may remain oscillating at a low level around 1,500 - 1,700 yuan/ton. A negative feedback mechanism may form where low prices attract orders, but downstream buyers' "buy - on - rising" behavior leads to sporadic downstream demand. For the futures market, the 01 contract should pay short - term attention to the pressure level around 1,730 yuan/ton, and the 05 contract should focus on the 1,750/1,770 yuan/ton pressure levels. It is expected to mainly sell on rebounds in Q4 [6]. - On the supply side, affected by technological transformation in Shanxi and parade - related maintenance in Q3, urea production decreased quarter - on - quarter. However, with subsequent capacity expansion and the resumption of factory operations, it is expected that after the production recovers, the daily urea output will still fluctuate around 190,000 - 200,000 tons. In Q4 2025, production is expected to be higher than the same period last year due to high - level capacity [6][52]. - On the demand side, since Q3, the demand for autumn fertilizers has been realized, and the operating rate of compound fertilizer plants has rebounded but remained at the same level as previous years, without bringing new urea demand. Currently, most of the autumn fertilizers have been stocked, and the factory operating rate has declined to digest high - level inventories. Industrial demand is relatively sluggish. Although the consumption of thermal power denitration and vehicle urea has increased by about 8% this year, weak real - estate data has dragged down the expansion of urea industrial demand. Although the export policy has been relaxed, the export quota is far less than the surplus in urea supply and demand, making it difficult to fundamentally reverse the loose supply - demand pattern [6]. Summaries by Directory Q3 Market Review - Urea prices in Q3 showed a complex trend. Initially, prices were affected by factors such as gas - head device复产, changes in downstream factory operating rates, and export news, resulting in fluctuations including price drops, rebounds, and high - level consolidations. Eventually, after the export positive news was realized, domestic demand was insufficient, and the market was under pressure to decline due to oversupply [9]. - Due to continued capacity expansion and high - level inventory, urea prices have been lower year - on - year this year and are currently at the lowest level in the same period. It is expected to fluctuate between 1,500 - 1,700 yuan/ton in Q4. After the price fell below 1,600 yuan/ton, downstream buyers started to increase purchases as the futures price rebounded. However, domestic demand is expected to weaken after the National Day holiday, and a negative feedback mechanism may form [21]. - In terms of the term structure, urea maintains a contango structure with near - term weakness and long - term strength. The 1 - 5 spread remains in a discount state. With insufficient domestic demand and continuous inventory accumulation in the industry, the 01 contract oscillates at a low level. It is expected that the 1 - 5 spread will continue to be weak, and attention should be paid to reverse - spread opportunities [27]. - Currently, the basis is low, and the market is in a futures premium stage, suitable for selling hedging. After the basis strengthens, hedging supplies may enter the market, increasing market liquidity. The overall basis fluctuation is small, and it is expected to oscillate with a small amplitude in Q4 [37]. - According to Zhengshang Institute data, the settlement price of the 09 contract was 1,643 yuan/ton, with a 17 - yuan/ton premium for Henan spot and a 37 - yuan/ton premium for Hebei spot. The delivery volume of the UR2509 contract was about 4,274 lots, and the nominal delivery volume was about 85,480 tons, an increase of 3,204 lots compared to the 09 contract last year. The significant increase in futures delivery volume and registered warehouse receipts shows the loose market pattern of urea this year [41]. Supply Analysis - As of now, 3.12 million tons of new urea capacity have been put into operation in 2025, and another 3.56 million tons are expected to be commissioned in Q4. Although some backward capacity is being phased out, the overall capacity is still increasing [47]. - From January to August 2025, the cumulative urea production was about 47.4467 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 4.2092 million tons (+9.74%). Affected by technological transformation in Shanxi and parade - related maintenance in Q3, production decreased quarter - on - quarter. After subsequent capacity expansion and factory resumption, daily production is expected to fluctuate around 190,000 - 200,000 tons. In Q4 2025, production is expected to be higher than the same period last year [52]. - According to Longzhong's statistics, about 63.8 million tons of capacity within a 20 - year operating cycle account for 84% of the total capacity. The impact of anti - involution measures on urea production is limited. Although coal prices have increased significantly due to anti - involution, coal - based enterprises still have profits, so the impact on urea is currently small. However, if coal prices continue to rise or urea prices fall, cost support may emerge [56][60]. - As of September 25, the gross profit of fixed - bed urea production dropped to - 247 yuan/ton, and that of natural - gas - based production dropped to - 225 yuan/ton, while the water - coal - slurry production still had positive gross profit. The probability of large - scale production cuts by natural - gas - based enterprises is low due to long - term contracts with upstream suppliers [60]. - Historically, the urea price in the Shandong market was previously benchmarked against the fixed - bed production cost, and a rebound was likely when approaching the cost line. Since July 2024, the spot market price has gradually moved towards the water - coal - slurry cost, and currently, the cost support of water - coal - slurry is weak [65]. Demand Analysis - In terms of demand structure, agricultural demand is the most important, accounting for about 49%, and compound fertilizer demand accounts for about 25%, with the combined proportion close to 75% [74]. - It is estimated that the wheat sowing area in China in 2025 will be 355 million mu, a slight increase of 0.3% from the previous year. The corn sowing area will be about 44.269 million hectares, with a production of 298 million tons and a yield of 6,733 kg/ha, increasing by 1.08%, 2.76%, and 3.87% respectively compared to the previous year. The agricultural demand for urea is expected to increase steadily by about 5% in 2025 [78]. - The 2024 - 2026 national fertilizer commercial reserve project bidding document has adjusted the off - season storage rules. The proportion of urea in the reserve fertilizer has been reduced from not less than 30% to not less than 20%, and the single - target quantity in some provinces has been adjusted. The off - season storage enthusiasm is expected to increase this year, and the preparation time may be earlier and more dispersed than last year [80]. - Since July, the urea price has been oscillating downward, and the spread between compound fertilizer and urea has widened, leading to a recovery in factory profits. However, due to pre - emptive demand in the first half of the year and high finished - product inventories, factories are currently focusing on inventory digestion, and there has been no significant increase in the operating rate [85]. - As of September 26, the operating rate of compound fertilizer plants was 35.27%, with an average operating rate of 40% this year. After the demand was pre - empted in the first half of the year, the operating rate has been insufficient. Although the demand for autumn fertilizers has been realized in Q3, it has not brought new urea demand. Currently, most of the autumn fertilizers have been stocked, and the factory operating rate has declined [90]. - Other industrial demands include urea - formaldehyde resin, melamine, vehicle urea, and thermal power denitration. The consumption of thermal power denitration and vehicle urea has increased by about 8% this year. However, the real - estate market has been under pressure in 2025, with a 12.9% year - on - year decline in real - estate development investment and declines in new construction, construction, and completion areas, which has dragged down the expansion of urea industrial demand [94]. - As of September 26, the capacity utilization rate of China's melamine was 60.58%, and the average operating rate from January to September was 62%, flat year - on - year. Since August, the operating rate has been lower year - on - year. With the improvement of downstream demand and the resumption of previously - maintained factories, the demand for urea from melamine is expected to improve marginally [98]. - In 2025, the urea export policy has been relaxed, and domestic prices have been boosted multiple times since Q3. However, the export quota is far less than the surplus in supply and demand, making it difficult to fundamentally reverse the loose supply - demand pattern. As the export window closes, the boost from exports is expected to fade [104]. Inventory - As of September 25, the total inventory of urea enterprises was 1218,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of 204,300 tons. The in - factory inventory is at a relatively high level in the same period of the past five years, about 20% higher year - on - year. Since April, the in - factory inventory has been oscillating upwards. With high production and insufficient domestic demand, inventory has continued to accumulate even with the gradual opening of exports. It is expected that the inventory will continue to increase as there is no large - scale procurement demand for autumn fertilizers and the off - season storage is approaching [112]. - Since Q3, the number of days of pending orders for upstream urea factories has been higher year - on - year, mainly supported by export orders. As the export window closes, the shipment pressure of upstream factories may increase [112]. - India's urea inventory is currently at a relatively low level in recent years, and 6 - 9 months account for 70% of its annual demand. India has issued multiple tenders in Q3. The latest tender prices are lower than expected, and the domestic market has not been boosted, with the expected Chinese participation volume around 500,000 - 700,000 tons [114][116]. Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - The report provides a supply - demand balance sheet for urea from 2019 - 2025E, showing the production, export, various demand components, total domestic demand, and surplus volume in each year. In 2025E, the production is expected to be 69.76 million tons, exports 4 million tons, and the surplus is 130,000 tons [118].

9月上旬尿素期货价格整体呈现下跌走势，现货市场观望情绪较浓。短期来看，尿素供需宽松，市场情 绪偏空。在缺乏明显利多驱动的情况下，预计期货价格维持偏弱震荡态势。 出口方面，2025年5月，我国对尿素出口实行配额制，前3批配额总量约400万吨。虽然今年上半年尿素 出口量仅为7.7万吨，但是8月出口量大幅增长。根据海关总署数据，8月尿素出口量为80万吨，同比大 幅增长；1—8月尿素累计出口量为144万吨，同比增长492.3%。 整体来看，虽然9月初尿素日产量小幅下滑，但随着前期检修装置复产以及新增产能投放，9月中下旬日 产量有望回升至19万吨以上，甚至接近20万吨。农业需求短期难有起色，秋季肥对尿素需求的拉动作用 相对有限；工业需求缓慢恢复，对价格的支撑力度不足。尿素期货主力合约目前已跌破1700元/吨关 口，考虑到短期供需宽松的市场格局难以扭转，市场情绪整体偏空，预计10月之前期货价格维持偏弱震 荡态势。(作者单位：中信建投（601066）期货) 本文内容仅供参考据此入市风险自担 现货市场交投氛围依旧偏弱，部分地区现货报价明显下移，山东、河南等主要产区中小颗粒尿素出厂价 普遍跌至年内低位。在需求难以显著增长的情况 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - Last week, under the situation of weak supply and demand of urea, both spot and futures prices declined. The high inventory of urea factories restricted the upward space of prices. Currently, the price has dropped to an acceptable low - price range in the market. After the futures sentiment improved, spot low - price purchases began, and the futures market started a technical rebound [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Spot Market Dynamics - Last week, affected by the continuous decline of futures, the domestic demand was insufficient, and the spot market was weak, showing a continuous price - reduction trend. Since the weekend, the urea price continued to decline steadily, and new orders had not improved. However, there was an intention to purchase at the current price. Today, affected by the futures rebound, the low - price spot transactions were smooth [4] 3.2 Futures Dynamics - Last week, the urea futures on the disk continued to decline. By September 12, the main January contract of urea closed at 1,663 yuan/ton, a decrease of 55 yuan/ton compared with the settlement price on September 5. The weekly trading volume was 1,496.18 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 388.56 million tons; the open interest was 817.164 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 146.72 million tons. The futures decline was weaker than the spot decline, and the basis weakened. As of September 15, the 01 contract basis was - 43 yuan/ton, a weekly decrease of 27 yuan/ton; the 1 - 5 spread was - 48 yuan/ton, a weekly decrease of 8 yuan/ton. On September 15, the number of urea warehouse receipts was 8,613, a week - on - week decrease of 154 [6][9] 3.3 Urea Supply End - Last week, the weekly output of urea increased. From September 4 to September 10, the weekly output of urea was 1.2993 billion tons, an increase of 20.3 million tons compared with the previous period, a week - on - week increase of 1.59%, and the average daily output was 185,600 tons. It is expected that the probability of output increase in the next cycle is relatively large. The coal price decreased, and the domestic liquefied natural gas price also declined last week. The price center of synthetic ammonia moved down, while the methanol spot price increased [13][15][16] 3.4 Urea Demand End - Last week, the compound fertilizer price remained flat compared with the previous week. After the parade, the operating load of compound fertilizer factories rebounded, and the finished product inventory of compound fertilizer factories decreased continuously this month. However, the fertilizer stockpiling was nearly 70% - 80%, and the subsequent increment was limited. The capacity utilization rate of melamine decreased, and the demand for urea increased insufficiently [18] 3.5 Inventory Data - As of September 12, 2025, the total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises was 1.1327 billion tons, a week - on - week increase of 37.7 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 382.8 million tons. The port sample inventory was 549.4 million tons, a decrease of 71.5 million tons compared with the previous week [21] 3.6 International Market - India's NFL's urea import tender on September 2 determined a transaction of about 2.03 billion tons, and it is estimated that China's urea supply in this tender may be 700 - 800 million tons. As of September 12, the FOB prices of small - and large - particle urea in different regions showed different trends of increase and decrease [23]

Market Overview - Urea futures prices have declined, with the 2601 contract closing at 1663 CNY/ton on September 12, down 64 CNY/ton or 3.67% from the end of August, primarily due to weak demand and disappointing Indian tender results [3][5] - The domestic spot market also showed weakness, with prices in various regions dropping between 60 to 90 CNY/ton compared to the end of August [3] Supply Side - Domestic urea production capacity utilization rate was 79.34% as of September 12, down 3.05 percentage points from the end of August, with a daily average production of 18.56 million tons, a decrease of 71.42 million tons from the end of August [7] - Despite a slight decrease in daily production, supply pressure remains due to high overall production levels, with expectations of a rebound in production as previously shut-down facilities resume operations [6][7] Demand Side - Agricultural demand is currently slow, with a seasonal gap in demand for urea, leading to cautious purchasing behavior among downstream distributors [9] - Industrial demand has not shown growth compared to previous years, with fertilizer manufacturers operating at low capacity utilization rates and high inventory levels [9][12] Inventory Levels - Urea production companies have seen an increase in inventory, with factory stock reaching 113.27 million tons as of September 12, up 4.69 million tons from the end of August [15] - Port inventory decreased slightly, but overall inventory levels remain high, indicating ongoing supply pressures [15] Cost Factors - The profitability of urea production has decreased due to falling prices, with various production methods experiencing reduced or negative margins [18] - Coal prices have stabilized, but overall demand remains limited, affecting the cost structure of urea production [18] Conclusion - The urea market is characterized by strong supply and weak demand, leading to continued price pressure [19] - Future demand may see some support from seasonal agricultural needs, but overall market conditions suggest limited upside potential for prices in the near term [19]

Report Overview - The report is an energy and chemical research report on urea, dated September 3, 2025 [2] 1. Market Review Futures Market - Urea futures saw an increase in positions and a significant decline, closing at 1714 (-33/-1.89%) [3] Spot Market - The ex - factory prices were stable with average trading volume. The ex - factory prices in different regions were as follows: Henan 1660 - 1670 yuan/ton, Shandong small - particle 1660 - 1670 yuan/ton, Hebei small - particle 1660 - 1670 yuan/ton, Shanxi medium and small - particle 1640 - 1650 yuan/ton, Anhui small - particle 1680 - 1700 yuan/ton, and Inner Mongolia 1580 - 1640 yuan/ton [3] 2. Important Information - On September 3, the daily urea production in the industry was 18.24 tons, the same as the previous working day (revised to 18.24 tons), and 0.2 tons less than the same period last year. The current operating rate was 77.96%, 4.83% lower than 82.79% in the same period last year [4] 3. Logic Analysis Supply - Some plants were under maintenance, and the average daily production dropped below 190,000 tons. The urea production enterprise inventory increased by 61,900 tons to around 1.0858 million tons, remaining at a high level [5] Demand - A new round of Indian tender was announced, with India tendering for 2 million tons again, closing on September 2 and with a shipping date at the end of October. The large price difference between domestic and international markets and relaxed export policies had a certain boost to the domestic market sentiment. However, the enthusiasm for compound fertilizers in Central and North China was low, and the grass - roots had no intention to stock up. Although the operating rate of compound fertilizer plants increased slightly, the urea inventory could last for more than half a month, resulting in low procurement sentiment for raw materials. The overall demand was declining [5] Market Outlook - In the short term, the domestic demand was still limited. After the agricultural demand ended and the compound fertilizers had not started large - scale production, the spot market sentiment was generally stable. After some regions lowered the ex - factory prices, the manufacturers' order receipts improved. The Indian tender and relaxed export policies provided some support to the domestic spot market. However, after the ex - factory prices were raised to around 1680 yuan/ton, the downstream adopted a wait - and - see attitude. The futures fluctuated, and after the third batch of export quotas were implemented, urea returned to the domestic fundamentals. The key was the results of the Indian tender and the export volume to India [5] 4.
