  • Phosphate Fertilizer Daily Review: Downstream Demand Stagnation, Market Operation Shows Weakness
    This article provides a detailed review and analysis of the phosphate fertilizer market, focusing on Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) and Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), as of March 26. The price indices for MAP and DAP indicate a trend of stability with slight decreases in MAP prices. The MAP market experienced a slight downward adjustment, primarily due to sluggish sales and increasing inventory pressures among companies, combined with a tepid transaction atmosphere and insufficient downstream demand. The DAP market remained stable, albeit with a weary sentiment among companies and a pessimistic atmosphere among operators. Both markets face challenges due to insufficient downstream demand and a mindset of reluctance to purchase unless prices rise. The stability in raw material prices, with a notable increase in synthetic ammonia costs, provides strong cost support but is insufficient to invigorate market dynamics. Overall, the phosphate fertilizer market is characterized by weak operation and pessimistic operator sentiment, with expectations of continued stable yet slightly downward price trends in the short term.
  • Urea Daily Review: Increased Transactions at the Lower Market Segment, Factory Quotations Undergo Minor Range Adjustments
    This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the urea market as of March 26, detailing the dynamics of urea prices, futures market activity, and spot market analysis. The urea price index shows a slight day-to-day decrease and a significant year-on-year decline. The futures market experienced modest gains, while the spot market saw a continuation of the recent trend of declining prices with narrow fluctuations. Factories adjusted their ex-factory prices downward, leading to an increase in low-end transactions. However, the overall high-price transaction activity was limited, reflecting cautious price adjustments by factories. The market operation was characterized by a stalemate, with a strong wait-and-see attitude among operators. Despite an increase in low-end transactions, this was not sufficient to support price movements, indicating a short-term weak performance in the market. The supply side saw a continuation of high-level operations with supply exceeding demand, while downstream demand remained weak, focusing on just-in-time restocking. The urea market is currently in a state of weak supply-demand balance with no significant positive drivers to support high price levels, suggesting that prices are expected to undergo minor adjustments within a stable range in the short term.
  • Phosphate Fertilizer Daily Review: Weak Follow-up in Demand, Enterprises Continue to Execute Pre-orders
