Core Viewpoint - The removal of soybean export tariffs in Argentina has led to a significant increase in soybean imports by China, alleviating concerns about supply shortages in the fourth quarter, which in turn has caused a decline in domestic soybean meal prices in September [1][3]. Group 1: Market Trends - In September, the average price of 43% protein soybean meal was 3008 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan/ton (0.67%) from August, and down 88 yuan/ton (2.84%) year-on-year [1]. - Domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories remained high, prompting a focus on inventory clearance, while downstream purchasing sentiment was cautious due to lower import costs from Argentina [1][3]. - The total soybean crushing volume in September was 9.6291 million tons, a decrease of 210,300 tons from August [1]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Factors - For October, soybean arrivals are projected to be 9.23 million tons, 9 million tons, and 8.5 million tons for the months of October to December, indicating a tightening supply outlook, although factory inventory levels remain high [3]. - The international market is influenced by ongoing trade discussions between China and the U.S., with China significantly reducing imports of U.S. soybeans [3]. - The price of Brazilian soybeans remains stable, while Argentine soybean import costs have decreased, although the limited share of imports from Argentina means its impact on domestic soybean meal prices is relatively weak [3]. Group 3: Price Outlook - The overall demand for soybean meal is expected to be negatively impacted by declining prices of downstream livestock products and worsening losses in the livestock sector [4]. - The supply side remains elevated, contributing to a loose supply-demand situation that is likely to exert downward pressure on spot prices [4].
