1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The trend of urea is under pressure this week. Although exports are accelerating, the price - driving effect is expected to be limited due to pre - prepared goods by traders. Weak domestic demand is the main contradiction, and it is expected that the increase in exports cannot make up for the weakening of domestic demand. The medium - term trend is under pressure. The inventory of urea production enterprises is expected to show a slight accumulation pattern next week. [2][3][4] - For trading strategies, the unilateral trend is weak. Pay attention to macro - sentiment and spot transactions during the week. The upper pressure is 1710 - 1720 yuan/ton, and the lower support is 1600 - 1620 yuan/ton. For the 01 contract, it is recommended to short at high prices. For inter - period spreads, conduct reverse spreads for 10 - 1/11 - 1 month spreads and 1 - 5 month spreads. There is no suggestion for inter - variety spreads. [4] 3.
