1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core View of the Report - The current domestic urea supply is abundant, and the overall demand is declining. Although the new round of Indian tenders and the relaxation of export policies have a certain boosting effect on the market sentiment, the short - term domestic demand is still limited. The spot market sentiment is generally stable, and the focus is on the results of the Indian tenders and the export volume to India [6]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Market Review - Futures market: Urea futures fluctuated widely and finally closed at 1746 (+9/+0.52%) [4]. - Spot market: The ex - factory prices were stable with average trading volume. The ex - factory prices in different regions were as follows: Henan 1660 - 1670 yuan/ton, Shandong small - particle 1660 - 1670 yuan/ton, Hebei small - particle 1660 - 1670 yuan/ton, Shanxi medium and small - particle 1640 - 1650 yuan/ton, Anhui small - particle 1680 - 1700 yuan/ton, and Inner Mongolia 1580 - 1640 yuan/ton [4]. Important Information - On September 2, the daily urea production in the industry was 18.26 tons, an increase of 0.11 tons compared with the previous working day and a decrease of 0.1 tons compared with the same period last year. The current operating rate was 78.05%, a decrease of 5.20% compared with 83.25% in the same period last year [5]. Logical Analysis - Market sentiment: The market sentiment was average, with stable ex - factory prices in mainstream regions and average trading volume. The ex - factory prices in Shandong showed a hidden decline, and the market sentiment was general. In Henan, the market sentiment was low, and the ex - factory prices followed the upward trend. Around the delivery area, the ex - factory prices were weakly stable, and the market atmosphere cooled down [6]. - Supply: Some devices were under maintenance, and the average daily output dropped below 190,000 tons. The urea production enterprise inventory increased by 61,900 tons to around 1.0858 million tons, at a high level overall [6]. - Demand: A new round of Indian tenders was announced, with India tendering 2 million tons again, with the tender closing on September 2 and the shipping date at the end of October. The domestic and foreign price difference was large, which had a certain boosting effect on the domestic market sentiment under the relaxed export policy. However, the enthusiasm for compound fertilizers in Central and North China was not high, and the grass - roots had no intention to stock up. Although the operating rate of compound fertilizer plants increased slightly, the urea inventory could be used for more than half a month, and the procurement sentiment for raw materials was low [6]. - Forecast: In the short term, the domestic demand was still limited. After the agricultural demand ended and the compound fertilizers had not started production on a large scale, the spot market sentiment was generally stable. The ex - factory prices in some regions decreased, and the manufacturers' order receipts improved. The Indian tenders and the relaxation of export policies had a certain supporting effect on the domestic spot market. After the ex - factory prices were raised to around 1680 yuan/ton, the downstream adopted a wait - and - see attitude. The futures fluctuated, and the third batch of export quotas had been finalized. The key was the results of the Indian tenders and the export volume to India [6]. Trading Strategy - Unilateral: Wait and see [7]. - Arbitrage: Wait and see [7]. - Options: Wait and see [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. Core Viewpoints - The urea market is currently in a situation of weak supply and demand. The market is mainly oscillating, with short - term attention on the pressure level of 1754 yuan/ton and medium - term attention on the oscillation range of 1730 - 1780 yuan/ton. The upcoming Indian NFL company's 200 - million - ton urea import tender will affect the domestic market sentiment. The demand of compound fertilizer factories has resilience, which can support the downstream demand [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Strategy Analysis - The market opened higher and moved higher today, showing a strong oscillation. The trading activity in the recent market is low. The price in Shandong region rebounded today after a price cut yesterday to attract orders. The ex - factory price of small - particle urea in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei urea factories ranges from 1660 to 1690 yuan/ton [1][5]. - In terms of fundamentals, due to summer equipment overhauls and environmental protection restrictions caused by the military parade in early September, the output in August decreased month - on - month. However, new production capacity will be gradually put into operation, and factories will resume production after the military parade, so the pattern of loose supply has not changed. On the demand side, affected by the September military parade, the operating load of compound fertilizer factories has declined for two consecutive weeks. It is expected that the subsequent increase in operating load will be limited. Currently, the factory's finished product inventory is being depleted, and the finished fertilizer is being transferred to the end - users. The demand for compound fertilizer in Shandong has reached the historical high for the same period, and the possibility of subsequent concentrated fertilizer stockpiling is low. With the finished product inventory higher than the same period last year, the incremental demand for raw materials may be limited. It is expected that the operating load will increase next week [1]. - The inventory continued to accumulate, increasing by 6.19 tons compared with last week, a month - on - month increase of 6.05%. As it is about to enter the peak season for autumn fertilizers, the demand of compound fertilizer factories has resilience, which can support the downstream demand [1]. Futures and Spot Market Quotes - Futures: The main urea 2601 contract opened at 1742 yuan/ton, moved higher, and showed a strong oscillation, finally closing at 1746 yuan/ton, with a yin - yang line and a change rate of +0.52%.

Report Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish; for the spread between contracts, conduct short - term volatility trading for the UR01 - 05 positive spread during the export window period, and conduct reverse spread trading for UR01 - 05 at high levels after the export window period; no strategy for cross - variety [3] Core View - Recently, manufacturers have lowered prices to attract orders. After the price dropped to the previous low, the transaction improved. Some regions have started the autumn agricultural fertilization. Industrial demand is weak due to the impact of the military parade on the operation of compound fertilizers, board factories, etc. Urea production remains high, but there will be more maintenance this week, so production may decline slightly. In the medium - to - long - term, urea supply and demand will still be relatively loose with the release of new production capacity. The profit of coal - based urea is acceptable, and the cost support is average. The export window period from August to September continues, and the port inventory is increasing rapidly.
