Market outlook forecast:

In terms of factories, manufacturers are better at receiving orders at low prices. Currently, the number of days in which Chinese urea companies receive orders in advance is 6.59. In order to control receiving orders, the prices of most manufacturers have increased slightly, and the overall market price has stopped falling and increased. Traders remain wait-and-see, and the overall market is in a game between manufacturers. On the supply side, the company's daily production remains high. Some companies in the southwest may be the first to park their vehicles, and then in the northwest and other places will park their vehicles one after another. Compared with previous years 'data, it is expected to show signs of recovery in February next year. On the demand side, agricultural demand is in a gap period, and most of the downstream purchases are followed up on sporadic small orders; the industry just needs to purchase goods in multiple stages. In terms of the market, under the influence of the policy of "ensuring supply and stabilizing prices", the urea market's sentiment for chasing high prices has cooled down. The industry has a wait-and-see attitude and is cautious in taking more goods, putting pressure on the market.

On the whole, the urea market is currently facing difficulties in reducing production and expected price declines. However, with the support of supply guarantees, the market's upward trend is limited. It is expected that the urea market price will continue to maintain range fluctuations in the short term.
