Market outlook forecast:

On the enterprise side, enterprises still continue to execute domestic demand and export orders, and inventories continue to remain low. Affected by equipment maintenance, Nissan has decreased relatively, spot supply has been tight, and supply has not changed much. On the downstream side, there is still a demand for downstream compound fertilizers. Due to the rise in raw material prices, the downstream procurement cycle has been shortened and dealers have increased the cost of getting goods, so they have to purchase small quantities on demand. In terms of market sentiment, affected by the recent deviation of urea market prices from the fundamentals of supply and demand, some associations are currently calling for rational management and avoiding following suit. Recently, many companies issued supply guarantees proposals, mentioning that they should give priority to supplying Chinese demand and partially reduce exports., etc., the market will not be out of stock.

On the whole, due to the current high price, the market is highly resistant. It is expected that the spot price of urea will gradually fall in the short term. However, due to the low supply, the price decline will be limited.
