1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - After the US corn planting is completed, the US corn market is weak. With the reduction of Sino - US tariffs, the US corn price continues to decline, but the potential for further decline is limited due to possible weather - related speculations. China has reinstated a 15% tariff on US corn, with a total of 26% tariff within the quota, and a 22% tariff on US sorghum. Foreign corn imports are profitable, with the August import price from Brazil at 1,971 yuan. The domestic corn market has different trends in different regions, with short - term stability in the north and tight supply in North China. The corn starch market sees inventory reduction, and the price is affected by corn price and downstream stocking. The 09 contracts of both corn and starch are expected to have narrow - range fluctuations [5][7][8][9]. 3.

Pemex management announced this on July 28 [6] Market Judgment - High - Sulfur Fuel Oil: Domestic high - sulfur spot supply in the near - term remains abundant, and the near - month internal - external spread fluctuates at a low level below 0. Asian high - sulfur supply remains at a high level, and the Singapore high - sulfur spot premium continues to fluctuate at a low level. Russian refinery operations continued to decline in July, and near - term exports are expected to decline month - on - month. The Middle East geopolitical conflict has not worsened again but persists. Mexico's high - sulfur exports continue to decline due to the commissioning of Olmeca's second - stage unit and the decline in the operation of some refineries. The supply pressure of high - sulfur fuel oil in the third quarter is slightly less than expected. On the demand side, the peak season of refined oil products combined with the decline in high - sulfur cracking, and the increase in China's fuel oil consumption tax deduction are all beneficial to the growth of high - sulfur feedstock demand. The seasonal power - generation demand for high - sulfur fuel oil is gradually declining. Attention should be paid to the recent import logistics changes in Egypt and Saudi Arabia [7] - Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil: The low - sulfur fuel oil spot premium fluctuates. The low - sulfur supply continues to recover, and there is no specific driver for downstream demand. Nigeria's RFCC unit has returned from maintenance, but its operation is still expected to be unstable. Attention should be paid to the near - term low - sulfur export logistics changes. South Sudan's external low - sulfur raw material supply has gradually returned to the level at the beginning of 2024, and new cargo loading tenders for August have been successively announced. Al - Zour's low - sulfur exports have rebounded to the high level during the normal operation of the refinery, and exports to the Singapore region have increased significantly. The low - sulfur market in China has abundant supply and stable demand. Attention should be paid to the near - term adjustment and issuance rhythm of low - sulfur quotas [7] - Other Information: FU warehouse receipts are 110,980 tons, unchanged from the previous trading day; LU warehouse receipts are 90 tons, unchanged from the previous trading day. In the Singapore paper market, the high - sulfur Aug/Sep monthly spread is -2.8 to -3.0 US dollars per ton, and the low - sulfur Aug/Sep monthly spread is 2.3 to 2.0 US dollars per ton [7] Group 4: Related Attachments - Figures: Singapore high - sulfur spot premium, Singapore low - sulfur spot premium, Singapore high - and low - sulfur spread, Singapore LSFO - GO, high - sulfur fuel oil cracking, low - sulfur fuel oil cracking [10]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The domestic soybean meal and rapeseed meal markets are expected to be mainly in a state of oscillatory operation. The short - term upward momentum of soybean meal is limited, and the deep - decline space after the correction is also restricted. Rapeseed meal is likely to follow the soybean meal to oscillate, and its ability to have an independent market is relatively weak. The monthly spread of soybean meal is expected to have some downward pressure, while that of rapeseed meal shows a rebound, but the rebound space is limited. The spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal is expected to oscillate [8]. - The trading strategy is to expect the market to be mainly in an oscillatory state for single - side trading, suggest expanding the MRM09 spread for arbitrage, and adopt a wait - and - see attitude for options [9]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - Today, the US soybean futures showed a slight oscillatory trend with limited market changes. After the previous positive factors were fully reflected, there was some downward pressure recently, and the market gradually stabilized after the decline. The domestic soybean meal futures continued to decline, but the decline narrowed as the absolute price was relatively low and further negative factors were limited. Rapeseed meal also had a limited decline, and the market lacked new themes, continuing to be affected by soybean meal, with subsequent uncertainties remaining. The monthly spread of domestic soybean meal futures also showed a slight oscillation, and the downward space of the monthly spread was limited after the decline of the single - side price narrowed, but the spot pressure still existed. The monthly spread of rapeseed meal showed a rebound trend, mainly because the previous decline was relatively large and the further downward space was limited. However, since the near - term pressure on rapeseed meal was still obvious, the rebound space was expected to be limited [4]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis International Market - The new US soybean crop is generally bearish, and the upward space is significantly limited after the recent rebound. The new soybean market is mainly characterized by ample supply and limited support. As of the week ending July 27, the good - to - excellent rate of US soybeans reached 70%, up from 68% in the previous week. As of the week ending July 24, the export inspection volume of old US soybean crops was 409,700 tons. The US soybean crushing data in June was good, with the NOPA - caliber soybean crushing volume reaching 185.709 million bushels, a year - on - year increase of 5.76%, and the crushing profit rebounded. - In the previous week, Brazilian farmers accelerated their selling progress, but the overall progress was still relatively slow, and there was still some pressure expected in the future. The Brazilian soybean crushing situation has generally improved recently. The soybean crushing volume in May announced by abiove continued to increase month - on - month. The demand for soybean meal and soybean oil was generally good, and the crushing profit improved overall under the background of the rapid increase in soybean oil prices recently. However, crushing had limited effect on alleviating the supply pressure, and the subsequent demand improvement space was also relatively limited. Due to China's large volume of soybean purchases, Brazil is expected to still have room for export growth, and the market pressure is still relatively obvious. - The domestic soybean crushing volume in Argentina may improve in the future, mainly because the subsequent exports may decrease under the influence of tariffs. However, the current domestic crushing profit in Argentina is average, so the improvement space is still relatively limited. Overall, the supply pressure of the international soybean market is mainly concentrated in South America. Especially when the subsequent crushing in Argentina decreases, soybean exports may become more obvious, and Brazil has a large output, so the pressure remains obvious when the subsequent domestic crushing decreases [5]. Domestic Market - The domestic spot market continued to be in a relatively loose state. The oil refinery operating rate remained at a high level, the market supply was sufficient, the提货量 (pick - up volume) increased accordingly, and the inventory gradually accumulated. The overall spot market trading performance was average. As of July 25, the actual soybean crushing volume of oil refineries was 2.2389 million tons, the operating rate was 62.94%, the soybean inventory was 6.4559 million tons, an increase of 33,500 tons or 0.52% from the previous week, and a year - on - year decrease of 10,700 tons or 0.17%. The soybean meal inventory was 1.0431 million tons, an increase of 44,700 tons or 4.48% from the previous week, and a year - on - year decrease of 302,800 tons or 22.5%. - Recently, the domestic demand for rapeseed meal has continued to show a gradual weakening trend, and the oil refinery operating rate has decreased. However, the overall supply was sufficient, and the inventory of granular rapeseed meal remained at a high level, so the overall supply pressure still existed. Although there was uncertainty in the subsequent supply of rapeseed and rapeseed meal, the demand also weakened, and there was still some near - term pressure. Therefore, rapeseed meal is expected to be mainly in an oscillatory operation. As of the week ending July 25, the rapeseed crushing volume of major coastal oil refineries was 56,000 tons, and the operating rate this week was 14.93%. The rapeseed inventory of major coastal oil refineries was 137,000 tons, a decrease of 25,000 tons from the previous week; the rapeseed meal inventory was 19,000 tons, an increase of 7,000 tons from the previous week [6]. 3.3 Macroeconomic Analysis - The Sino - US negotiations in London have been completed, but the market has not provided much clear information. Due to the lack of clear macro - guidance, the market continues to be worried about the uncertainty of subsequent supply. From the perspective of recent international trade changes, there are still many overall uncertainties. However, as the market gradually stabilizes, the macro - level disturbances are decreasing. Since China still has a high demand for the US soybean market in the long - term, it is not easy to see a sharp decline in the short term, especially in the absence of macro - guidance [7]. 3.4 Price and Spread Data Futures and Spot Basis - For soybean meal futures, the closing prices of contracts 01, 05, and 09 were 3028, 2744, and 2983 respectively, with changes of - 13, - 7, and - 7. The spot basis in Tianjin, Dongguan, Zhangjiagang, and Rizhao were - 90, - 140, - 140, and - 130 respectively, with changes of 0, 10, 20, and 20 compared to the previous day. - For rapeseed meal futures, the closing prices of contracts 01, 05, and 09 were 2379, 2372, and 2660 respectively, with changes of - 14, 2, and 0. The spot basis in Nantong, Guangdong, and Guangxi were - 140, - 140, and - 150 respectively, with changes of 0, - 20, and - 20 compared to the previous day [4]. Monthly Spread - For soybean meal, the 59 - spread was - 239 (unchanged from the previous day), the 91 - spread was - 45 (an increase of 6 from the previous day), and the 15 - spread was 284 (a decrease of 6 from the previous day). - For rapeseed meal, the 59 - spread was - 288 (an increase of 2 from the previous day), the 91 - spread was 281 (an increase of 14 from the previous day), and the 15 - spread was 7 (a decrease of 16 from the previous day) [4]. Cross - Variety Futures Spread - The spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal for contract 01 was 649 (an increase of 1 from the previous day), and for contract 09 was 323 (a decrease of 7 from the previous day). The oil - to - meal ratio for contract 01 was 2.704 (an increase of 0.048 from the previous day) [4]. Spot Spread - The spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal was 604 (an increase of 27 from the previous day), the spread between rapeseed meal and sunflower meal was - 31 (a decrease of 34 from the previous day), and the spread between soybean meal and sunflower meal was 573 (an increase of 3 from the previous day) [4]. 3.5 Soybean Crushing Profit - The report provides the soybean crushing profit data from different origins (Argentina and Brazil) with different shipping dates, including CNF, CBOT price, contract, exchange rate, soybean meal price, soybean oil price, and the corresponding crushing profits (both on - the - spot and in the futures market) and their changes compared to the previous day [10].

Group 1: Market Analysis of Container Shipping - The peak of the peak - season freight rate has passed. Mainstream shipping companies have successively lowered their spot quotes for August, causing the EC futures market to fluctuate weakly. On July 29, EC2510 closed at 1460 points, down 2.85% from the previous day's close. The latest SCFIS European Line index released after Monday's trading was 2316.56 points, down 3.5% month - on - month, indicating a decline in spot freight rates [4]. - Spot freight rates show a divergence in quotes among mainstream shipping companies. Most shipping companies except MSC have either maintained or lowered their freight rates for the first half of August. The demand side is affected by tariff policies during the traditional peak season from July to August. The supply side shows that the average weekly capacity in July, August, and September 2025 is 264,200, 289,900, and 296,600 TEU respectively, with a slight decline in July and September compared to the previous week's schedule. The ship schedule in September is still abundant [5]. - Regarding tariffs, Trump extended the tariff exemption period to August 1st. The US has finalized tariffs of about 19 - 20% on Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and 15% on the EU and Japan. The Sino - US negotiation has been extended for 90 days, and the cease - fire negotiation in the Israel - Palestine conflict is in progress [5]. Group 2: Trading Strategies for Container Shipping - Unilateral trading: It is expected that the futures market will remain weak. This week, the market is expected to be disturbed by macro - events such as tariff negotiations. For EC2510, some short positions can be closed for profit and some can be rolled over. The overall strategy is to short on rallies [6]. - Arbitrage: Conduct rolling operations on the 10 - 12 reverse spread [7]. Group 3: Industry News for Container Shipping - The US Secretary of Commerce said that the EU will pay a 15% tariff, with a few small commodities excluded.

In the fourth week of July 2025, a total of 10.4472 million tons of soybeans were loaded, with an average daily loading volume of 549,900 tons/day, a 12.41% increase compared to July last year [18]. - The Capesize ship market had few inquiries on the previous day, and the overall market was calm at the beginning of the week, with freight rates falling slightly. The demand for grain transportation in the Panamax ship market weakened, and although there were some coal cargoes released, the market capacity increased, resulting in a slight decline in freight rates [19]. Group 5: Industry News for Dry Bulk Shipping - Typhoon "Bamboo Grass" is expected to move northwest at a speed of 10 - 15 km/h, gradually intensify, and make landfall on the coast from Sanmen, Zhejiang to Qidong, Jiangsu between noon and evening on the 30th [20]. - China - US economic and trade teams held talks in Stockholm on July 28th.
