Rumors of an Indian urea tender improved market sentiment in China, prompting stronger follow-through from downstream buyers and better new-order sales at lower-priced producers. Chinese urea supply remains ample while demand is weak, leaving producers under inventory pressure; the tender outcome is still uncertain.
Potential Indian import demand could support export interest and lift urea prices in the short term. Ample supply and weak domestic demand limit the upside unless the tender is confirmed.
After 176 past bullish trade events, Urea moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +2.4%), and +1.6% over 20.
