Market outlook forecast:

From the perspective of futures, futures prices are down in a narrow range today. Currently, both markets are falling downward. Futures have an emotional negative for spot prices to rise. Fundamentally speaking, agricultural demand in some areas has not yet ended, urea plant failures occur frequently, and Nissan is declining again. Coupled with the current support of low inventory and high demand in the spot market, the factory's willingness to transfer profits is not obvious. The current urea market sentiment is becoming more cautious, and resistance to high-priced transactions is increasing. In terms of industrial demand, plywood factories continue to focus on purchasing, compound fertilizers are still at a relatively low level, and urea is maintained for purchasing a small amount of raw materials. The price of raw material synthetic ammonia is steadily adjusted. In terms of inventories, China's inventories are low, and it is speculated that stocks will gradually accumulate in the later period as demand decreases. To sum up, it is expected that the urea spot market will stabilize and decline in the short term.
