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. The market is expected to return to its own fundamentals. Currently, the domestic market shows a pattern of weak supply and demand [12]. - **Strategy**: Pay attention to long - position opportunities on dips [12]. 3.2. Futures and Spot Market - **Contract Prices**: The 09 contract closed at 1803, up 58 from a week ago; the 01 contract closed at 1807, up 87; the 05 contract closed at 1822, up 91.

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].

Core Viewpoints - The current structure of the domestic urea market shows a contradiction: inventory is decreasing while agricultural demand is in a lull, and small package exports are restricted [3] - Despite some maintenance in production facilities, overall daily output remains high, indicating sufficient market supply [3] - Agricultural demand is weakening as the northern summer fertilization season comes to an end, and the production of compound fertilizers for autumn has not yet started on a large scale, leading to a supply-demand imbalance and downward pressure on futures prices [3] Supply Side Analysis - Domestic urea daily production is approximately 192,600 tons with an operating rate of 81.62%, which is an increase of 9,400 tons compared to the same day last year [1] - Several production facilities are undergoing maintenance, including a 15-day maintenance at Henan Zhongying and a 200-day upgrade at Shanxi Jinfeng [1][2] - Overall supply remains ample despite some production disruptions [1][3] Demand Side Analysis - Agricultural demand is expected to weaken as the summer fertilization season concludes, and the production of compound fertilizers has not yet ramped up significantly [2][3] - Downstream compound fertilizer manufacturers are primarily focused on selling existing inventory due to high stock levels, which limits support for urea demand [2][3] - The average pre-sale days for July is 3.43 days, unchanged month-on-month but down 12.60% year-on-year, indicating a short-term purchasing approach from downstream buyers [2] Inventory and Export Dynamics - As of July 23, 2025, total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises is 858,800 tons, a decrease of 36,700 tons or 4.10% from the previous week [2] - Although domestic urea demand is weak, some inventory is still being exported, leading to a slight reduction in overall factory stock [2] - India’s IPL has announced a new round of urea import tenders for 2 million tons, with a bid deadline of August 4 [2] Market Strategy - A short-term range trading strategy is recommended, with a price range of 1,740 to 1,820 [4] - If futures prices fall below 1,780 yuan/ton, a small long position may be considered due to the higher certainty of supply contraction compared to the persistence of weak demand [4] - If prices rebound above 1,830 yuan/ton, a short position may be advisable as spot prices are unlikely to support significant futures price increases [4]

Financial Services for Rural Reform - The People's Bank of China and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued guidelines to enhance financial services for rural reform and promote comprehensive rural revitalization [1] - The guidelines emphasize the establishment of standardized rural property transfer and transaction platforms, encouraging local exploration of management systems for agricultural facilities and livestock rights [1] - There is a focus on deepening financial services for collective forest rights reform, increasing loans for forest rights mortgages, and supporting rural collective economic organizations [1] Agricultural Financing and Innovation - The guidelines promote financial services for seed industry revitalization, particularly for major research platforms and core seed technology projects, with an emphasis on long-term, low-cost R&D loans [1] - There is an initiative to establish differentiated credit assessment systems for technology innovation enterprises in agriculture, including machinery and smart agriculture [1] - The guidelines also encourage the expansion of merger and acquisition loans to support market-oriented mergers and reorganizations in agricultural technology [1] Stock Market Implications - Several agricultural-related Hong Kong stocks are mentioned, including First Tractor Company (00038), October Rice Field (09676), and China Heart Link Fertilizer (01866), indicating potential investment opportunities in the sector [2]
