Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the current state and future outlook of the phosphate industry in China, highlighting the challenges faced by the ammonium phosphate sector due to regulatory changes and market dynamics, while also noting the potential for export opportunities in the second half of 2025 [2][3][4][7]. Group 1: Industry Overview - As of July 18, 2025, the Chinese government plans to implement a new round of growth stabilization measures for key industries, including steel and non-ferrous metals, which may indirectly impact the phosphate sector [2]. - Since 2022, stricter export policies for ammonium phosphate have led to a significant decline in production and operating rates, with the operating rate for monoammonium phosphate dropping to 56.3% in 2022, and remaining below 60% in 2023 and beyond [3][4]. Group 2: Profitability and Market Dynamics - The profitability of ammonium phosphate has been under pressure due to high raw material costs and subdued export demand, with average gross profits for monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate reported at -58.7 CNY/ton and -128.9 CNY/ton respectively in the first half of 2025 [4][5]. - Leading companies in the phosphate sector have managed to maintain profitability by securing upstream resources, while those lacking such integration face significant financial challenges [5]. Group 3: Supply and Demand Outlook - The average price of domestic phosphate rock was approximately 1019 CNY/ton in the first half of 2025, showing a slight increase from the previous year, but no growth in effective production capacity was observed [6]. - New phosphate rock production capacity is expected to be delayed, with only 250,000 tons projected to come online in 2025, indicating a continued high demand for existing high-grade phosphate rock [6]. Group 4: Export Opportunities - The price gap between domestic and international ammonium phosphate has widened, with international prices rising significantly due to geopolitical factors, creating potential for increased exports from China in the latter half of 2025 [7]. - Export quotas for ammonium phosphate are typically concentrated in the second and third quarters, suggesting that a surge in exports may occur in Q3 2025, benefiting domestic exporters [7].

铁合金企业召开反内卷会议,铁合金双双涨停
Nan Hua Qi Huo· 2025-07-25 10:20
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core View - The rise of ferroalloys is mainly driven by strong policy expectations, macro - sentiment, and the increase in coal - based prices on the cost side, and the short - term outlook is optimistic. Currently, the supply - demand contradiction of ferroalloys is relatively small. Silicomanganese is in a destocking trend, and although the inventory of ferrosilicon is high, coal prices support the price of ferrosilicon. However, there is uncertainty about whether the price can continue to rise. The implementation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's work plan and the enterprise meeting have stimulated market confidence, but there are uncertainties in the specific implementation and the policy may deviate significantly from market expectations. If the coal price increase is a short - term fluctuation, the support of the cost side for ferroalloy prices will weaken as coal production capacity is released and imports increase [3][21] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Policy's Strong Expectations - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is about to introduce a work plan for stabilizing growth in ten key industries, including steel, non - ferrous metals, and petrochemicals. The ferroalloy industry has relatively serious over - capacity in the steel industry. Market expectations are that ferroalloy prices will rise based on the price changes during the 2015 supply - side reform [4][5] Ferroalloy Enterprises' Anti -内卷 Symposium - Although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's policy has not been implemented and it is uncertain whether it includes the ferroalloy industry, the internal meeting of the ferroalloy industry verifies market expectations. Due to the relatively low price of the manganese ore market and the low inventory of manganese ore in production enterprises, production enterprises have actively replenished their stocks, boosting the rise of ferroalloys [9] Increase in Coal - based Costs - The continuous increase in coking coal prices has led to an increase in ferroalloy costs because of the high correlation between ferroalloy costs and coal - based prices. With the coking coal main contract hitting the daily limit for many consecutive days, there is a possibility of a supplementary increase in ferroalloy futures [18] Future Sustainability - There is uncertainty about whether the ferroalloy price can continue to rise. The implementation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's work plan has uncertainties, and the policy may deviate from market expectations. If the coal price increase is short - term, the support of the cost side for ferroalloy prices will weaken as coal production capacity is released and imports increase [21]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The short - term policy expectation has a greater impact on coal and coal - chemical industries than the fundamentals. The supply pressure of urea remains high, and the price may face significant downward pressure when domestic agricultural demand weakens and export demand is insufficient. It is recommended to wait and see for now (View Score: 0) [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Changes - **Futures Prices**: On July 24, UR01 closed at 1796 yuan/ton, up 0.96% from July 23; UR05 closed at 1804 yuan/ton, up 0.61%; UR09 closed at 1785 yuan/ton, up 0.68%. The urea futures main contract 2509 opened at 1775 yuan/ton, with a high of 1796 yuan/ton, a low of 1768 yuan/ton, and closed at 1785 yuan/ton, with a settlement price of 1782 yuan/ton, and a position of 173,791 lots [1]. - **Domestic Spot Prices**: In most regions, domestic small - particle urea spot prices decreased on July 24 compared to July 23. For example, in Shandong, it dropped from 1830 yuan/ton to 1810 yuan/ton (-1.09%); in Henan, from 1850 yuan/ton to 1830 yuan/ton (-1.08%); in Hebei, from 1800 yuan/ton to 1780 yuan/ton (-1.11%); in Jiangsu, from 1840 yuan/ton to 1820 yuan/ton (-1.09%). The price in the Northeast remained unchanged at 1760 yuan/ton [1]. - **Upstream and Downstream Prices**: The prices of upstream anthracite coal in Henan and Shanxi and downstream products such as compound fertilizer (45%S) in Shandong and Henan and melamine in Shandong and Jiangsu remained unchanged on July 24 compared to July 23 [1]. 3.2 Basis and Spread - **Basis**: The basis of Shandong spot - UR decreased from 37 yuan/ton on July 23 to 6 yuan/ton on July 24, a decrease of 31 yuan/ton [1]. - **Spread**: The spread of 01 - 05 increased from - 14 yuan/ton on July 23 to - 8 yuan/ton on July 24, an increase of 6 yuan/ton [1]. 3.3 Fundamental Analysis - **Supply**: The supply pressure of urea is large, with daily production close to 200,000 tons, which is at a high level. The inventory of upstream enterprises is still about 750,000 tons, although the enterprise inventory has continued to decline slightly, mainly due to the increase in port collection [1]. - **Demand**: The top - dressing demand in July will support the price. However, if domestic agricultural demand weakens and export demand cannot be supplemented, the urea price will face significant downward pressure [1].
