Market outlook forecast:

On the supply side, it is expected that urea maintenance units will resume construction and increase this week, which will have a negative impact on supply. On the demand side, agricultural demand has weakened, mostly industrial demand. Urea use has declined, and China's demand for fertilizer is not high. Internationally, the tender for imported urea issued by India has not yet been implemented, and there is still great uncertainty in the tender. Most people hold a wait-and-see attitude. It is expected that the announcement of the printed price this week will have a greater impact on the Chinese market. In terms of futures, the trading price of urea futures rose last Friday and returned to a downward trend again today, which will subsequently affect the simultaneous downward adjustment of urea market prices.

On the whole, the supply of urea in the market has increased, and demand is lower than the supply. Urea prices are expected to be mainly weak and volatile, and at the same time, they still need to wait for the results of the implementation of the stamp label.
