Market outlook forecast:

In terms of factories, manufacturers 'quotations continue to fall, but the overall order acquisition situation is relatively general. Under the pressure of shipments, price reductions are endless, which makes the focus of market negotiations on new orders continue to decline. High-end quotations of enterprises are gradually moving closer to low-end levels, and overall order acquisition situation is not good. In terms of the market, the market situation is temporarily stable and unchanged from the previous period. The transaction of new orders is weak. There is no other effective positive support for the market. Although prices continue to fall, the low-price transactions on the market are also relatively general. The market is stable. It is difficult to maintain stability, and the mood of operators has dropped significantly. On the supply side, the supply side continues to be loose, and the industry continues to have sufficient supply. The current industry's capacity utilization rate continues to remain above 80%, which affects the market. On the demand side, the progress of fertilizer use in autumn is slow, and demand follow-up is not smooth. The mentality of the industry is still cautious, and most of them purchase sporadic small orders. Large-scale purchases still need to wait for the improvement of the autumn fertilizer replenishment market.

On the whole, the current market situation lacks good news to boost it, and the market is weak. It is expected that the urea market price will continue to maintain a weak consolidation operation in the short term.
