Market outlook forecast:

In terms of futures, futures prices rose again today, and the performance of the futures market improved slightly during the week. We need to continue to pay attention to whether futures prices can continue to strengthen to support the spot market. On the supply side, cost coal prices continue to weaken, and previous quotations continue to fall and factory orders have improved. Production is currently active and supply is sufficient. On the demand side, yesterday's judgment was maintained. Some corn manure was shipped in East China and North China, but most compound fertilizer manufacturers are still digesting stocks, and some manufacturers are also producing on demand. The operating rate of compound fertilizer manufacturers across the country continues to rebound slightly. After entering June, there may be a wave of demand for urea. However, the real estate industry has been performing poorly recently, and industrial demand has been unstable. It is expected that the market will enter a volatile operating trend in the short term.
