8月13日，国内尿素现货涨跌互现，区域分化明显。主流产区山东、河南、山西、河北、安徽等地低端 尿素出厂价跌破1700元/吨，并向1650元/吨逼近；新疆尿素报价再跌30元/吨，低至1450元/吨。而个别 地区小幅反弹10~30元/吨。 当日，尿素期货价格下跌，截至收盘，尿素期货主力2601合约报收于1726元/吨，跌幅1.76%。 业内人士表示，上游厂家收单不佳，纷纷降价吸单，市场低端尿素成交略有好转，但中间商出货价格更 低，导致成交价格与厂家出厂报价出现倒挂。 隆众资讯分析师吴苑丽向期货日报记者表示，进入7月后，因农业季节性需求转弱，尿素大多会有一波 下跌行情。今年市场存在出口的松动，因此市场参与者认为尿素价格下行空间并不大。不过，由于尿素 日产量一直偏高，价格又处于年内的中等位置，很难吸引下一波的农业需求，而且出口一直受政策管 控，短时市场有效支撑较弱，行情呈现震荡下行趋势，下游以逢低采购为主，追涨意愿不足。 方正中期期货研究院产业团队负责人夏聪聪表示，尿素货源供应及市场可流通货源充裕，而需求端则表 现疲弱，导致市场买气不足。现货市场参与者信心不足，尽管低价货源增加，但市场整体交投情况并未 有好转。市场买 ...

据浙商期货油脂油料分析师王璐介绍，加拿大作为我国菜系产品的主要进口来源国，分别占国内进口菜 籽、菜粕总量的90%和70%以上。此次反倾销调查初裁"落地"，后续加拿大油菜籽的到港成本将抬升， 恐影响国内菜粕及菜油供应。"其中，菜油端因近年来自俄罗斯等地的进口量有所提升，加之国内豆油 供应的支撑，预计其后续供应紧张程度将弱于菜粕。" 王璐说。 "事实上，我国自2024年9月启动对加拿大油菜籽反倾销调查以来，国内菜籽进口量已显著下滑。同时， 由于保证金措施最长可持续7个月，叠加18个月的调查期限制，国内四季度的菜籽供应预计将继续下 降，这对菜籽粕、菜籽油期货价格均构成利多支撑。"石丽红补充说。 供需共振增强上涨动能 值得注意的是，当前是水产养殖旺季，正逢菜粕刚性需求高峰。国元期货油脂油料分析师刘金鹭表示， 菜粕刚性需求增加，供应收缩预期与强势现实需求形成共振，短期价格易涨难跌。 "整体来看，在反倾销调查初裁认定的刺激下，菜系期货短期内将维持强势格局。"刘金鹭同时提醒，事 件驱动是当前盘面的主要支撑，但也需警惕高库存压力以及豆粕等替代品竞争可能引发的回调风 险。"投资者可关注远月合约的多头机会，同时密切跟踪中加贸易谈 ...

Core Viewpoint - The initial ruling of the anti-dumping investigation against Canadian canola seeds has led to a significant increase in domestic canola meal and oil prices, with expectations of continued upward pressure due to rising import costs and strong domestic demand [1][2][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The futures market for oilseeds has shown a strong performance, particularly in canola meal, with the RM2509 contract experiencing a daily increase of over 6% [1]. - The initial ruling determined a dumping margin of 75.8% for Canadian canola seeds, which will increase the cost of imports starting August 14 [2]. - Canada accounts for over 90% of domestic canola seed imports and over 70% of canola meal imports, making the ruling impactful on supply [2]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Factors - The current peak demand for canola meal coincides with the busy season for aquaculture, creating a strong demand-supply dynamic [3]. - The supply of canola seeds is expected to decline in the fourth quarter due to the ongoing anti-dumping investigation, which could further support prices for canola meal and oil [2][3]. - Domestic canola meal inventory has decreased from approximately 900,000 tons to 630,000 tons, indicating a tightening supply situation [4]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts predict that canola meal prices will maintain a strong upward trend, while the price potential for canola oil may be less pronounced due to increased imports from other sources [3][4]. - The reliance on Canadian canola seeds is significant, and unless imports from Australia normalize, the price of canola meal is expected to continue rising [3][4]. - The competition from soybean meal, which remains a primary protein source, may limit the long-term price increases for canola meal [4].
