Market outlook forecast:

In terms of factories, most factories currently have good orders and new orders have been sold. With the support of manufacturers, they have a strong attitude towards prices. In terms of the market, the market is actively soliciting goods. Under the expectation of a reduction in supply, more purchases are entered into the market in advance. The market trading atmosphere is active and prices are rising. However, with the support of the policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, the price increase is relatively limited. On the supply side, gas companies will gradually stop their operations this month, and a few coal companies also have maintenance plans. Nissan is expected to gradually decline, lower than the current level. On the demand side, the number of agricultural inquiries in the market has increased recently. Although demand is relatively concentrated, the overall market trading atmosphere has improved compared with the previous period, and the atmosphere is hot. With the release of terminal demand in the next January, it is expected that the market trading atmosphere will continue to be good.

On the whole, the current transaction of new orders in the urea market is relatively good. Under the expectation of a reduction in supply in the future, more operators enter the market to inquire about orders, and the market atmosphere is good. However, with the support of the policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, prices are under upward pressure, and it is expected that the urea market price will be slightly adjusted in a short period of time.
