Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - In April 2025, the price of soybean meal futures rose sharply and then fell. The domestic soybean meal futures price started to decline after a rapid increase at the beginning of the month, and the spot price also began to drop rapidly after reaching a peak around April 25. - The current sowing rate of US soybeans is higher than market expectations, and the current weather conditions are generally favorable for sowing. However, against the background of the expected decline in the sown area of US soybeans, the impact of weather changes on soybean prices will be significantly magnified. - Brazilian soybeans have a bumper harvest, and their huge export demand will occupy the original Chinese market of US soybeans. The Brazilian premium is expected to be relatively firm under trade frictions. The excellent rate of Argentine soybeans has rebounded, and the soybean harvest has accelerated. - The domestic soybean meal supply pressure will be very large in the later period. The average monthly arrival volume from April to June will reach around 11 million tons, the highest in the same period in history. Soybean inventories will accumulate, and the operating rate of oil mills will also improve. The supply pressure of soybean meal will gradually increase. - After the festival, there are still short - term restocking and rigid demand in feed consumption. It is expected that soybean meal will fluctuate downward, but uncertainties such as weather in North American soybean producing areas, port clearance efficiency, and Sino - US and Sino - Canadian tariffs should be vigilant [9][33][36]. 3.
