Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings were provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views of the Report - **Urea**: On Wednesday, the urea futures price showed a weak oscillation. The closing price of the main 01 contract was 1776 yuan/ton, with a slight decline of 0.73%. The spot market rebounded significantly, with the mainstream regional market prices rising by 20 - 40 yuan/ton. The supply level of urea fluctuated at a high level, and the daily output of the industry was 19.52 tons, a decrease of 0.18 tons from the previous day. The follow - up sentiment on the demand side declined, and the spot sales - to - production ratio in the mainstream regions dropped to the 10% - 90% range. Urea enterprises continued to accumulate inventory by 6.95% this week. The domestic urea market still had weak drivers, but there were still disturbances from information such as the third export quota. It was expected that the urea futures price would still show a weak trend, and the 09 contract had stronger support. One could pay attention to the 9 - 1 positive spread opportunity [1]. - **Soda Ash**: On Wednesday, the soda ash futures price dropped significantly. The closing price of the main 01 contract was 1309 yuan/ton, with a decline of 5.01%. The spot market quotation remained stable, but the traders' quotations declined following the futures. The natural soda ash plant in Inner Mongolia had fluctuating operations, and the industry's operating rate dropped to 86.96%. There was an expectation of a short - term shutdown of soda plants in Qinghai at the end of the month. The demand side had no obvious improvement, and the willingness of some mid - and downstream enterprises to stockpile raw materials was still weak after the price drop. The fundamentals of soda ash remained weak, and the market sentiment cooled rapidly. It was expected that the short - term futures price would continue the weak oscillation state [1]. - **Glass**: On Wednesday, the glass futures price showed a weak downward trend. The closing price of the main 01 contract was 1162 yuan/ton, with a decline of 4.36%. The spot market was still weak. The daily melting volume of glass in production remained stable at 15.96 tons. The follow - up strength on the demand side did not increase significantly. The subsequent downstream processing enterprises might be affected by environmental protection and production restrictions, which would further suppress the rigid demand for glass and the enterprise's shipment. The supply - demand contradiction of glass still existed, and there were no favorable factors in the market. It was expected that the glass futures price would continue the weak oscillation state [1].

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Urea**: The domestic urea daily production continues to rise, but the domestic demand is still insufficient, and the fundamental driving force of urea is limited. The easing of China - India relations brings expectations of export growth. The short - term urea futures market will continue to be in a relatively strong state, but the upside is limited due to the price - stabilizing policy. It is not recommended to chase the rise blindly. Attention should be paid to the Indian tender results, China's participation in the supply, export policy dynamics, this week's inventory data, and spot trading conditions [1]. - **Soda Ash**: The supply level of soda ash is still high, and the demand side has not improved significantly. The fundamental situation of soda ash remains weak, and there is a lack of new driving forces in the futures market. It is expected that the short - term futures price will fluctuate weakly. Attention should be paid to whether environmental protection restrictions will disrupt the supply side, the overall trend of the commodity market, and changes in macro - sentiment [1]. - **Glass**: The supply and demand contradiction of glass still exists, and there are no favorable factors in the market. The short - term downstream may stock up raw sheets before the environmental protection restrictions in early September, but the subsequent downstream processing enterprises may be affected by environmental protection restrictions, and the rigid demand for glass and enterprise shipments will be further suppressed. It is expected that the weak state of the glass futures price will continue. Attention should be paid to the impact of environmental protection events on both supply and demand sides, glass spot trading conditions, the overall sentiment of the commodity market, and changes in macro - sentiment [1]. 3.
