Although there is a slight improvement in local operations, overall demand recovery is insufficient. Road construction projects will be hindered by heavy rain or high temperatures in the next week, suppressing short - term demand [62] - **Inventory**: The current supply - demand pattern is loose. Factory inventories have significantly increased while social inventories have slightly decreased, indicating low terminal pick - up enthusiasm and poor resource transfer to downstream, with supply pressure shifting to manufacturers [62] - **Cost**: Crude oil prices continued to fall, weakening the bottom support for asphalt prices [62] - **Technical Analysis**: The price of the main asphalt futures contract BU2510 lacks trend - driving momentum, with a bearish arrangement on the technical chart and obvious suppression from the upper moving averages, continuing the downward trend [62]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - The current core contradiction in the urea market lies in the continuous game between high supply and seasonal weak demand, and the short - term price may continue the weak oscillatory trend. It is recommended that investors cautiously handle the current market environment with a weak oscillatory mindset [49]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - **Urea Futures Main Contract Trend**: From August 11th to 14th, the main contract UR2601 of urea futures oscillated downward, with an interval decline of 0.80% and an interval amplitude of 2.72% [7]. - **Urea Futures Basis Situation**: On August 13th, the basis of small - particle urea in Shandong was 4 yuan/ton, a decrease of 36 yuan/ton compared to last Wednesday, and it was at a low level compared to the past five years [11]. 3.2 Urea Fundamental Analysis Supply - side - **Urea Production Enterprise Operating Rate**: This week, the operating rate of urea production enterprises was 84.45%, a 1.73% increase compared to the previous period and a 7.38% increase year - on - year, remaining at a high level in the past 5 years [16]. - **Urea Plant Weekly Maintenance Loss**: This week, the weekly maintenance loss of urea plants was 19.19 tons, a 4.48% decrease compared to the previous period and a 21.83% decrease year - on - year [18]. - **Weekly Output of Coal - based and Gas - based Urea**: Currently, the weekly output of coal - based urea is 1.1 million tons, a 2.8% increase compared to the previous period; the weekly output of urea produced from pipeline fertilizer - using gas is 290,000 tons, remaining unchanged compared to the previous period.

Driven by the continuous efforts of the supply - guarantee policy and the release of the efficiency of previous technological improvements, it has become normal for production enterprises to operate at high loads, and the overall supply of urea will continue the loose pattern. In the short term, the high - supply situation is unlikely to change significantly [49]. - **Demand - side**: Currently, it is the traditional off - season for demand. The downstream market generally has a wait - and - see attitude, mainly following up with rigid demand, and has no strong willingness for large - scale centralized procurement. Among them, the capacity utilization rate of compound fertilizer enterprises is 36.24%, a 1.63% decrease compared to the previous period and a 4.5% increase compared to 2024; the panel industry is still in the traditional off - season, and the average operating load rate of melamine enterprises is 49.21%, a 8.42% decrease compared to the previous period and a 24.27% decrease year - on - year [49]. - **Inventory - side**: The overall inventory pressure still exists. Urea enterprise inventory is 860,000 tons, a 9.83% increase compared to the previous period; with the orderly collection of goods at the port, the current port inventory is 790,000 tons, a 51.92% increase compared to the previous period. As the preparation and production of autumn fertilizers gradually start, it is expected that the enterprise inventory will first increase and then decrease [49]. - **Cost - side**: The supply of the anthracite market may not change much, and the price will fluctuate with the increase or decrease of demand and market sentiment. The natural gas price will be range - bound [49]. - **Operation Suggestion**: In general, the current core contradiction in the urea market lies in the continuous game between high supply and seasonal weak demand, and the short - term price may continue the weak oscillatory trend. It is recommended that investors cautiously handle the current market environment with a weak oscillatory mindset [49].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - In the past week, the live hog spot market showed a weak rebound in a volatile manner. Supported by farmers' price - holding and seasonal consumption, the futures market ended the previous week's rebound and declined, with LH11 and LH01 performing weaker. The basis strengthened slightly, but the spot price in the Southwest region was still at a discount of about 400 yuan/ton to LH09. - Based on the statistics of piglet birth data of sample enterprises by different institutions, the theoretical slaughter volume will continue to increase in the later stage. The month - on - month growth rate of fattening pig feed sales is similar to that in the same period of 2023 and 2024. Referring to the supply seasonality in the past two years, the supply pressure will still be high in the later stage. - In terms of demand, the secondary fattening market remains sluggish, while consumption will strengthen seasonally in the later stage. Overall, both supply and demand will increase in the later stage, but considering the past few years, the peak season has limited impact on price increases. Currently, the futures price has a premium over the spot price, and it is more likely to move closer to the spot price in the future. The operation suggestion is to adopt a bearish - biased trading strategy in a volatile market [7]. 3. Summary by Directory 1. Week - to - Week Analysis and Outlook - The live hog spot market had a weak rebound in the past week, while the futures market declined. The basis strengthened slightly, and the supply pressure will be high later with seasonal consumption growth. The futures price is likely to move closer to the spot price, and a bearish - biased trading strategy is recommended [7]. 65. Central Reserve Frozen Pork Operations - In case of excessive price drops: At the national level, no temporary reserve purchase will be initiated when the third - level early warning of excessive price drops is issued; it will be considered when the second - level early warning is issued; and it will be initiated when the first - level early warning is issued. Local governments follow the national approach. - In case of excessive price increases: For the central frozen pork reserve release, in the case of market cyclical fluctuations, the reserve release will be initiated when the second - level early warning of excessive price increases is issued and the release intensity will be increased when the first - level early warning is issued. In case of special situations such as major animal disease risks, the price increase tolerance will be raised, and after the first - level early warning is issued, the release will be mainly concentrated in key periods. Provinces can determine their own reserve release initiation conditions, which should not be higher than the central level [68].

Report Title - New Grain Harvest Approaching, Corn Continues to Weaken - Guoxin Futures Corn Weekly Report, August 17, 2025 [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - In the past week, the overall corn spot market was weak. In Shandong, the supply was low, and enterprises significantly pressured prices in the first half of the week but with less intensity later, and the spot price stabilized. In Northeast China, it was also weak due to auctions. At the north - south ports, the spot price was relatively strong as inventory continued to decline. The futures price first rose and then fell, with a long upper shadow on the weekly line. The basis weakened slightly, and the C2511 contract was significantly weaker than other contracts due to the main contract shift. Fundamentally, with the continuation of reserve grain auctions and the approaching new grain harvest, the willingness of grain - holding traders to sell increased, strengthening the supply pressure. On the demand side, although feed production increased, policies to reduce pig production capacity and average weight suppressed feed demand expectations. Meanwhile, wheat still had an advantage in substituting for corn, and the procurement demand of feed enterprises for corn was restricted. Additionally, the profit of the deep - processing sector remained poor, negatively affecting consumption. Overall, the later corn supply - demand situation will tend to be loose, and the market will maintain a pattern of oscillating to find the bottom. The operation should be based on a bearish - oscillating mindset [7] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Analysis and Outlook 1.1 Corn Futures Market Changes - Not provided 1.2 Corn Spot Market Changes - The overall corn spot market was weak last week. In Shandong, the supply was low, enterprises pressured prices in the first half of the week and with less intensity later, and the spot price stabilized.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - In the protein meal market, international soybean prices are affected by factors such as US policies, weather, and USDA reports, showing a volatile upward trend. Domestic soybean meal prices are also influenced by international prices and domestic supply and demand, with the price center rising. In the oil market, international oil prices are differentiated, with US soybean oil falling and Malaysian palm oil rising. Domestic oil prices are generally rising, but there are differences among varieties [6][59]. - Looking ahead to the next week, in the protein meal market, international soybeans may be affected by high - temperature weather, and the market is expected to be volatile and strong. Domestic soybean meal is also expected to be volatile and strong, with the M2601 contract oscillating between 3000 - 3200. In the oil market, international US soybean oil is volatile and domestic oils are strong, but further upward movement requires external forces [112][113]. Summary by Directory Part 1: Protein Meal Market Analysis 1. Market Trend - This week, CBOT soybeans first rose and then fell. The initial rise was due to expectations of improved US soybean export demand and hot and dry weather in some Midwestern farmlands, as well as the adjustment of positions by grain traders before the USDA report. The subsequent fall was due to profit - taking by investors and concerns about export demand. Affected by this, the domestic soybean meal market also first rose and then fell, with the price center rising [6]. 2. Export and Supply - related Data - US soybean export inspection volume exceeded market expectations, with a 18% decrease compared to the previous week but a 48% increase compared to the same period last year. As of August 7, 2025, the export inspection volume was 518,066 tons. The total export inspection volume for the 2024/25 season reached 48,367,647 tons, a 11.5% year - on - year increase [11]. 3. Weather and Planting Progress - In North America, most parts of the US are dry, which is beneficial for field operations but reduces soil moisture. Some areas have significant rainfall and strong thunderstorms. In Canada's prairie region, wet weather increases soil moisture but affects the early stage of small - grain cereal harvesting [26][30]. - As of August 10, 2025, the US soybean excellent - good rate was 68%, the flowering rate was 91%, and the pod - setting rate was 71% [22]. 4. Global Supply and Demand - For the US 2025/26 soybean season, the planting area is estimated to be 80.9 million acres, a decrease of 2.5 million acres from July. The yield is estimated to be 4.292 billion bushels, a decrease from July. The ending inventory is estimated to be 290 million bushels, a decrease from July. For the 2024/25 season, the export and crush expectations of US soybeans are increased, and the ending inventory of US soybean oil is increased. Globally, the 2025/26 soybean production is estimated to be 426 million tons, a decrease of 1.29 million tons from July, and the ending inventory is decreased by 1.17 million tons to 124 million tons [32][33]. 5. Domestic Market Indicators - Domestic spot and futures crushing profits have declined. As of the end of this week, the import soybean inventory at ports is about 6.8435 million tons, and the theoretical crush days are 19 days. The domestic soybean oil mill's average startup rate is 62.56%, an increase of 1.25% from last week. The domestic soybean meal inventory is 1.04 million tons, a decrease of 31,000 tons from last week [40][45]. Part 2: Oil Market Analysis 1. Market Trend - This week, international oil prices were differentiated. US soybean oil oscillated downward due to factors such as the decline of international crude oil, the fall of US soybeans, and uncertain biodiesel policies. Malaysian palm oil oscillated upward, but there are doubts about the sustainability of its export growth. Domestic oils generally rose, with soybean oil rising due to increased import costs, palm oil following Malaysian palm oil, and rapeseed oil first rising due to policies and then falling [59]. 2. International Oil - related Information - Indonesia may postpone the implementation of the B50 biodiesel plan, which may ease concerns about palm oil supply shortages. From August 1 - 10, Malaysian palm oil exports increased by 23.3% - 23.7% compared to the same period in July. In July 2025, Malaysian palm oil production was 1.8124 million tons, exports were 1.309 million tons, and the ending inventory was 2.1132 million tons [61][62]. 3. Domestic Oil - related Indicators - As of the 32nd week of 2025, the total inventory of the three major domestic edible oils was 2.6066 million tons, a decrease of 3400 tons from the previous week. Among them, soybean oil inventory was 1.3079 million tons, an increase of 13,300 tons; edible palm oil inventory was 526,200 tons, a decrease of 3400 tons; rapeseed oil inventory was 772,500 tons, a decrease of 13,400 tons [78]. Part 3: Market Outlook 1. Technical Analysis - For protein meals, the short - term and medium - term indicators of soybean meal and rapeseed meal are bullish, while the long - term indicators are entangled. For oils, the short - term, medium - term, and long - term indicators of soybean oil and palm oil are bullish, and the short - term indicators of rapeseed oil are entangled, with medium - term indicators bullish and long - term indicators entangled [112]. 2. Fundamental Analysis - Protein meals: Internationally, US soybeans may be affected by high - temperature weather, and the market is expected to be volatile and strong. Domestically, the soybean oil mill's startup rate remains high, and soybean meal inventory may decrease steadily. The market is expected to be volatile and strong, with the M2601 contract oscillating between 3000 - 3200. - Oils: Internationally, US soybean oil is volatile due to lack of positive news. Malaysian palm oil has pressure at around 4500. Domestically, oils are strong, but further upward movement requires external forces [113].
