Report Overview - **Industry**: Oil and fat [1] - **Date**: August 12, 2025 [2] 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided 2. Core View - The MPOB report shows that Malaysia's palm oil inventory at the end of July reached a two - year high of 2.11 million tons, but the inventory build - up was less than expected, making the report bullish. Palm oil prices rose strongly in the afternoon, with the main contract P2601 hitting a new high for the year. Rapeseed oil has sufficient near - term supply, but fewer far - month purchases support the futures price. Its trend lacks a clear driver and follows the market. Due to the abundant supply of Brazilian soybeans, factories will maintain high operating rates, and soybean oil inventory may increase, dragging down soybean oil prices. However, the long - term outlook is positive due to biodiesel policies in the US and Brazil, a possible decrease in soybean imports in the fourth quarter, and a recovery in domestic demand. China's three major oils are unlikely to see a significant short - term decline, and it is advisable to hold far - month basis contracts [8] 3.

Report Information - Report Title: Precious Metals Daily Review - Date: August 11, 2025 - Research Team: Macro and Financial Team - Researchers: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [2] Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - Fed's potential rate cut and Trump's new policies support the precious metals market, but there are also uncertainties such as Fed officials' stances and geopolitical situations. Gold's long - and mid - term bull markets are supported by various factors, but its volatility has increased. It is recommended that investors participate in trading with a long - term view and medium - low positions, and short - term investors can consider "long gold, short silver" arbitrage opportunities [4][5]. Summary by Directory 1. Precious Metals Market Conditions and Outlook Intraday Market - Trump's nomination of a new Fed governor raises the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in September to 86.6%, which supports the precious metals' upward movement. However, some Fed officials believe that a September rate cut is not certain, and the potential easing of the Russia - Ukraine conflict under US pressure causes London gold to face resistance around $3400/ounce. Gold's safe - haven demand is boosted by Trump's new policies, and it is expected to fluctuate between $3120 - $3500/ounce before rising again. Investors are advised to hold a long - term view and use medium - low positions for trading [4]. Domestic Precious Metals Market Data | Contract | Pre - closing Price | Highest Price | Lowest Price | Closing Price | Change % | Open Interest | Position Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Shanghai Gold Index | 786.70 | 790.19 | 785.20 | 789.42 | 0.35% | 441,940 | 3990 | | Shanghai Silver Index | 9,275 | 9,334 | 9,258 | 9,295 | 0.22% | 784,183 | - 10841 | | Gold T + D | 782.02 | 784.45 | 778.80 | 783.50 | 0.19% | 213,736 | 4684 | | Silver T + D | 9,224 | 9,287 | 9,210 | 9,249 | 0.27% | 3,528,966 | 24404 | [5] Medium - term Market - Since late April, London gold has been fluctuating between $3100 - $3500/ounce. Although the cooling of international trade and the US fiscal expansion bill have reduced gold's hedging and allocation demand, Trump's new policies and geopolitical risks, along with the deterioration of the US job market, have increased the expectation of a Fed rate cut. In June, speculative funds flowed into the silver and platinum markets, and in July, the silver price fluctuated greatly. The long - term bull market of gold is supported by the restructuring of the international trade and monetary system, and the mid - term bull market is supported by Trump's policies and the expectation of a Fed rate cut. However, the high price and P/E ratio of gold have increased its volatility. It is expected that London gold will continue to move within the range in the short term. Long - term investors are advised to participate with medium - low positions, and short - term investors can consider "long gold, short silver" arbitrage opportunities [5]. 2. Main Macroeconomic Events/Data - Russia and the US have agreed to hold a Putin - Trump summit in the coming days, and Zelensky has held talks with European leaders on the peace process [17]. - Trump has nominated Milan as a temporary Fed governor and is still looking for candidates for a long - term Fed seat. Fed Governor Waller is the favorite to become the next Fed chairman [17]. - The US and China may extend the tariff truce by 90 days. Trump may impose secondary tariffs on Indian goods and is considering tariffs on China [17]. - The Bank of England has cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but four of the nine policymakers oppose it, indicating that the continuous rate cuts may be near the end [17]. - Atlanta Fed President Bostic believes that it is too early to promise a rate cut as key data has not been released and inflation is expected to rise in the next few months [18].

Report Summary 1. Reported Industry - The industry under research is the egg industry [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, egg prices dropped significantly. The peak - season spot price started to rise around July 10th this year, later than usual. Market pressure emerged in late July, and the cold - stored eggs' release hit the market. The current correction in egg prices is about 0.5 yuan/jin on average, greater than the usual range of 0.2 - 0.3 yuan/jin, indicating high supply pressure [8] - Most产区 prices stabilized on Thursday and Friday this week. As it is still the summer peak season and there is an expectation of pre - holiday stockpiling in September, the spot price is expected to have a second wave of increase in August, but the upper limit has been adjusted downwards [8] - In the futures market, due to the sharp drop in the spot price last weekend, futures were notably weak in the first few trading days of this week. The near - month 09 contract hit a record low. The market has factored in the expectation of a second peak - season increase. The 09 contract is still at a premium of about 400 points over the spot average price. Considering packaging costs for delivery, it will face significant pressure when the spot price reaches around 3.6 yuan/jin [8] - If the spot price stabilizes and rises next week as expected, futures may be slightly stronger. Subsequently, the basis may be narrowed through the spot price rising while the futures price remains stable. The fourth - quarter contracts are also at historical lows, corresponding to a weak fundamental situation. Bulls can participate in bottom - fishing for the spot's second increase but should avoid over - staying in the market due to the medium - term bearish fundamentals [8] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: - For the 2509 egg contract, the previous settlement price was 3376, the opening price was 3393, the highest price was 3393, the lowest price was 3357, the closing price was 3362, down 14 points or 0.41%. The trading volume was 153,259, the open interest was 203,664, and the open interest increased by 862 [7] - For the 2510 egg contract, the previous settlement price was 3288, the opening price was 3292, the highest price was 3304, the lowest price was 3253, the closing price was 3257, down 31 points or 0.94%. The trading volume was 98,643, the open interest was 205,141, and the open interest increased by 16,335 [7] - For the 2511 egg contract, the previous settlement price was 3336, the opening price was 3340, the highest price was 3343, the lowest price was 3316, the closing price was 3326, down 10 points or 0.30%. The trading volume was 26,452, the open interest was 96,200, and the open interest increased by 917 [7] - The average price of eggs in the main production areas was 2.90 yuan/jin, up 0.01 yuan/jin from yesterday, and the average price in the main sales areas was 3.17 yuan/jin, down 0.02 yuan/jin from yesterday. The 09 contract declined by 0.41% [7] - **Operation Suggestions**: If the spot price stabilizes and rises next week as expected, futures may be slightly stronger. Bulls can participate in bottom - fishing for the fourth - quarter contracts but should operate in a phased manner due to the medium - term bearish fundamentals [8] 3.2 Industry News - The inventory of laying hens in production is on the rise. As of the end of July, the national monthly inventory of laying hens in production was about 1.356 billion, a month - on - month increase of 1.2% and a year - on - year increase of 6.2% [9] - The monthly output of day - old chicks in sample enterprises in July was about 39.98 million, less than that in June (40.75 million) and in the same period of 2024 (41.68 million). It is a moderately high monthly replenishment volume in the past eight years. Due to low breeding profits in the past two months, farmers' enthusiasm for expanding production has wavered, and this was the first year - on - year decrease in replenishment volume in July [9][10] - The culling volume of laying hens in the first three weeks as of August 7th was 13.71 million, 13.01 million, and 13.38 million respectively.

As of August 7th, the average culling age was 506 days, one day earlier than last week and two days later than last month [10]

Wait for potential negative impacts from the August USDA report to materialize before making investment decisions [6].
