Future outlook: The liquid ammonia market has seen its prices remain stable with slight upward trends in recent times, driven by factors such as plant maintenance, seasonal demand in the fertilizer sector, and rising coal prices. After the G20 meeting, sales volume in the Jiangsu and Anhui regions may increase, but at the same time, the restart of plants that were under maintenance will add to the supply of ammonia. Therefore, caution is still needed when predicting future price trends ； The ex-factory prices of enterprises in the Two Lakes region are rising slightly, but the increase in end-user purchase prices is somewhat slower. Going forward, it will be necessary to pay attention to changes in the operating status of compound fertilizer manufacturers in this region as well as to fluctuations in end-user purchase prices.
