油脂周报：贸易战升级，油脂探底回升-20250414

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - In the short - term, the global financial market is highly volatile due to the trade war. The enhanced expectation of a global economic recession and the sharp decline in crude oil prices exert significant pressure on the futures prices of oils and fats. The main short - term influencing factor is trade - war policies, but the probability of further escalation is low. In the long - term, the global supply - demand relationship determines the trend of oils and fats. The Malaysian palm oil report is neutral, and the USDA report is basically neutral. There is a high probability of wide - range fluctuations in the prices of the three major domestic oils and fats [9][33]. 3.
