Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The current sentiment of urea has improved, but the reversal may not have arrived from the supply - demand perspective. The current futures market is mainly driven by short - sellers taking profit. It is recommended to continue holding the previously sold out - of - the - money put options. The current valuation of urea is relatively low, reflecting the pattern of strong supply and weak demand. If the price continues to decline, it may lead to a further decrease in the upstream production willingness and accelerate the enterprise self - clearing. In the short term, the upward driving force of urea is insufficient, and the supply and inventory pressure are relatively large. The downstream mainly replenishes inventory cautiously at low prices. The possible future driving forces are the renovation expectation of old chemical plants on the supply side and the issuance of new export quotas [1] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Urea Futures Price - UR01: On October 24, it was 1642.00 yuan/ton, up 4.00 yuan from October 23.
