Core Viewpoint - The urea futures market is experiencing a downward trend, with the main contract reported at 1746.00 CNY/ton, reflecting a decline of 2.89% [1] Market Conditions - In Shandong, the urea market is weak, with small particle mainstream factory transactions ranging from 1740 to 1810 CNY/ton. In the Linyi market, the reference price is around 1780-1790 CNY/ton, while in Heze, it is approximately 1770-1780 CNY/ton [2] - The total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises is 967,700 tons, which is higher than last week's expectations. The port sample inventory stands at 489,000 tons, also exceeding last week's expectations [2] - The daily production of urea is 198,600 tons, a decrease of 1,200 tons from the previous working day but an increase of 29,100 tons compared to the same period last year. The operating rate is at 85.79%, up 7.52% from last year [2] Institutional Perspectives - Hongyuan Futures indicates that supply pressure in the urea market remains significant, with daily production near 200,000 tons. Although there is a slight reduction in enterprise inventory, upstream companies still hold around 750,000 tons. The demand for top-dressing in July may support prices, but if domestic agricultural demand weakens and export demand does not compensate, urea prices could face significant downward pressure. A cautious approach is recommended in the short term due to potential policy adjustments [3] - Yide Futures notes that the industry is undergoing structural adjustments and optimizing supply while eliminating outdated capacity. The macroeconomic environment appears strong, with recent coal production limits leading to a surge in coal futures. However, the urea industry is assessed as highly competitive, primarily influenced by macro sentiment. The market is currently viewed as overvalued, with expectations for urea prices to fall within the 1740-1800 CNY/ton range. Attention is drawn to selling call options for September and maintaining a long position in distant months [3]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - Urea is experiencing a short - term high - level correction and will enter a mid - term oscillation pattern. In the short term, with a large amount of speculative funds leaving the market on Friday night, the commodity index has fallen from a high level, and urea futures are expected to follow suit. Also, with the strengthening of the basis, the liquidity of spot and futures sources in the spot market is expected to be released, bringing supply - side selling pressure to the spot market. In the medium term, urea is expected to oscillate mainly due to the ongoing anti - involution policy which supports the overall valuation of commodities, and the potential second - batch export of urea which may support the demand side. Overall, it is in a short - term correction with a unilateral weakening trend and is expected to oscillate in the medium term [3] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the urea main contract was 1,803 yuan/ton (up from 1,785 yuan/ton), the settlement price was 1,798 yuan/ton (up from 1,782 yuan/ton), the trading volume was 236,179 lots, the open interest of the 09 contract was 171,609 lots (down 2,182 lots), the number of warehouse receipts was 2,523 tons (unchanged), and the trading volume was 849.507 million yuan (up 139.148 million yuan). The Shandong regional basis was - 13 (down from 25), the Fengxi - to - disk spread was - 113 (unchanged), the Dongguang - to - disk spread was - 23 (unchanged), and the UR09 - UR01 spread was - 4 (up from - 11) [1] - **Spot Market**: Among urea factory prices, Henan Xinlianxin was 1,850 yuan/ton (unchanged), Yankuang Xinjiang was 1,495 yuan/ton (up 35 yuan/ton), Shandong Ruixing was 1,810 yuan/ton (unchanged), Shanxi Fengxi was 1,690 yuan/ton (up 20 yuan/ton), Hebei Dongguang was 1,780 yuan/ton (unchanged), and Jiangsu Linggu was 1,880 yuan/ton (unchanged). Among trader prices, the Shandong region was 1,790 yuan/ton (down 20 yuan/ton), and the Shanxi region was 1,690 yuan/ton (up 20 yuan/ton). The supply - side indicators showed that the operating rate was 83.21% (up 1.04 percentage points) and the daily output was 192,650 tons (up 2,400 tons) [1] 2. Industry News - On July 23, 2025, the total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises was 858,800 tons, a decrease of 36,700 tons from the previous week, a month - on - month decrease of 4.10%. The inventory of domestic urea enterprises continued to decline this period, but the decline narrowed. With weak domestic demand, the overall order - taking and shipment of urea factories slowed down. However, due to some goods still being in the process of export collection and local downstream periodic bargain - hunting purchases, the overall urea factories showed a slight destocking. Some provinces saw an increase in enterprise inventory, while others saw a decrease. Overall, the urea trading has been weak for several consecutive days this week, and the second - batch export has not started yet. It is expected that the inventory of urea production enterprises will show a narrow - range oscillation pattern next week [1]

Summary of Chemical Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference focused on the chemical industry, specifically urea and methanol production, discussing capacity changes, production costs, and market dynamics [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Key Points on Urea Industry - **Capacity Changes**: In 2024, new urea capacity is expected to reach approximately 6 million tons, with an additional 6 million tons projected for 2025-2026. However, actual annual capacity release may only be around 3 million tons due to various factors [1][2]. - **Production Costs and Profitability**: The profit margins for coal-based urea production are significantly higher, ranging from 600 to 800 RMB per ton, while natural gas-based urea is nearing a loss state. The production costs for natural gas urea are constrained by national price limits [3][4]. - **Production Concentration**: The concentration of urea production is low, with the top ten companies accounting for only 20%-30% of the market. Most production facilities are relatively new, with a significant portion built in the last decade [4][5]. - **Operating Rates**: The operating rate in the urea industry has remained historically high, with an increase expected between 2% and 6.4% for the year. The high profitability of coal-based urea and the rigid demand for natural gas urea contribute to this trend [1][5][6]. - **Export Dynamics**: Limited export policies were relaxed in May, allowing for some urea exports. The export profit exceeds 1,000 RMB per ton, particularly appealing during the domestic off-season [7][8][10]. Key Points on Methanol Industry - **Supply and Demand**: Recent declines in methanol production rates are attributed to delayed maintenance and the impact of anti-involution policies. However, most maintenance is expected to be short-term, with supply remaining high in the latter half of the year [13][14]. - **Market Conditions**: The methanol market is influenced by various factors, including the return of Iranian production and fluctuating coal prices. The domestic methanol import volume is projected to remain around 1.25 to 1.3 million tons in the second half of 2025 [15][16]. - **Production Costs**: Coal-based methanol remains the most cost-effective production method, with costs in Inner Mongolia around 1,350 to 1,400 RMB per ton, while natural gas-based methanol is the most expensive, reaching up to 2,600 RMB per ton [28]. Additional Insights - **Impact of Anti-Involution Policies**: The anti-involution policies have a neutral to bearish effect on methanol downstream products, with limited impact on existing production facilities. The policies are expected to lead to a gradual phase-out of older production methods [14][19][26]. - **Future Outlook**: The potential for increased urea exports and the gradual transition from older production methods to newer technologies may create opportunities for investment in the chemical sector [10][12][29].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The urea market is currently in a pattern of weak supply and demand. Domestic production has declined, but corporate profits have rebounded, though the absolute level remains low. The cost - side support for urea is gradually strengthening. The compound fertilizer demand is weak, with slow growth in production and high finished - product inventory. Exports are progressing, and port inventories are rising. Overall, there is no significant unilateral trend, and it is advisable to pay attention to long - position opportunities on dips [12]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Market Review**: On Monday, influenced by the deepening of China's anti - involution policy, most domestic industrial products rose sharply. Urea also rose due to concerns about the elimination of backward production capacity, but it was mainly short - term sentiment. After the price peaked, the sentiment returned to rationality, and urea did not follow the continuous rise of black and some anti - involution related varieties [12]. - **Fundamentals** - **Supply**: Domestic urea operating rate is 83.59%, a 0.87% decline from last week, with a daily output of 19.52 tons. As the shipping date approaches, the port - collection is ongoing. Short - stop devices have increased, and the operating rate is expected to gradually recover in August. Currently, the operating rate is continuously declining month - on - month but is at a relatively high level year - on - year [12]. - **Demand**: The increase in compound fertilizer operating rate is slow due to weak sales and high temperatures. This week, the operating rate is 33.58%, a 1.03% increase from last week, and the finished - product inventory is at a high level year - on - year. Domestic demand is average, and the corporate advance orders are 5.94 days, a 0.12 - day decrease from last week [12]. - **Profit and Valuation**: All process profits are at a medium - low level. The 09 basis is still weak, and the 9 - 1 spread is in a contango situation. The overall structure is weak under high inventory and export expectations. The export profit is high, and the domestic price is relatively undervalued. The price ratio with related nitrogen fertilizers is at a medium - low level, indicating that the spot valuation of urea is low [12]. - **Inventory**: This week, the corporate inventory is 85.88 tons, a 3.67 - ton decrease from last week, but the decline rate has slowed down. The port inventory is 54.3 tons, a 0.2 - ton increase from last week [12]. - **Market Logic**: In the short term, the raw material side has strengthened due to the anti - involution policy, but the actual impact on the urea industry is limited.
