Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - The price of soybeans and soybean meal is affected by multiple factors. The short - term price of US soybeans is under pressure due to the trade war and good planting progress, but there is strong support from low valuation, reduced planting area, and expected significant increase in US soybean oil demand. The cost of soybean arrival in China has a tendency to rise steadily, but the trade war and other factors may suppress the price of the soybean series [2][3][5]. - The price of palm oil is affected by factors such as US tariffs, export volume, and production volume. The current production of palm oil has recovered significantly, and the decline pressure of oil and fat is relatively large, but it may be supported if the macro - economy stabilizes [7][8][11]. - The price of sugar is affected by factors such as Brazilian production and domestic and foreign supply and demand. The supply shortage has been alleviated, and the price of Zhengzhou sugar may weaken in the future [13][14]. - The price of cotton is affected by domestic macro - policies and supply - demand fundamentals. It is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term [16][17]. - The price of eggs is mainly determined by supply. With the increase in temperature and new production pressure, the upward pressure on egg prices is increasing, and a short - selling strategy is advocated [19][20]. - The short - term price of live pigs fluctuates little, and the pressure accumulates due to the increase in weight. A short - selling strategy after the price rebound can be considered under the shock pattern [22][23]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Soybean/Meal - Market Situation: Overnight US soybeans closed down. The sowing progress is higher than in previous years, and the demand side of US soybean oil lacks clear guidance. Some institutions expect the USDA to lower exports in the May monthly report, and the US soybean inventory - to - sales ratio increases. The Brazilian soybean premium was stable yesterday, and the arrival cost decreased. The domestic soybean meal spot was stable on Wednesday, with the lowest price in East China at 3,100 yuan/ton. It is estimated that the soybean arrivals in May, June, and July will be 9.1975 million tons, 11 million tons, and 10.5 million tons respectively, and the inventory of soybean meal and soybeans will increase strongly in the next three months [2]. - Weather and Cost: In the next two weeks, there will be more rainfall in the southern part of the US soybean - producing area and sporadic rainfall in the central part, and the planting progress is expected to be normal. Due to high tariffs on US soybeans, China's soybean imports only rely on Brazil, and the Brazilian soybean premium has the motivation to strengthen later. The cost of soybean arrival in China has a tendency to rise steadily, but the trade war may suppress the price of the soybean series [3]. - Trading Strategy: The current cost range of far - month soybean meal such as 09 is 2,850 - 3,000 yuan/ton. It is expected that soybean meal will be relatively weak compared with US soybeans, and attention should be paid to the trading rhythm [5]. 3.2 Oils and Fats - Market Situation: ITS and AMSPEC expect the export of Malaysian palm oil to increase by about 20% - 50% in the first 10 days of April, and the production of Malaysian palm oil increased significantly from May 1 - 5, 2025 [7]. - Trading Strategy: The downward movement of the crude oil center will significantly suppress the valuation of oils and fats, and the production of palm oil has recovered significantly. The pressure on the decline of oils and fats is relatively large. In the medium term, if the macro - economy stabilizes, oils and fats may be supported [11]. 3.3 Sugar - Market Situation: The Zhengzhou sugar futures price fluctuated weakly on Wednesday. The closing price of the September contract was 5,868 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.37%. The spot prices of sugar in various regions also decreased.

The price of Zhengzhou sugar may weaken in the future [14]. 3.4 Cotton - Market Situation: The Zhengzhou cotton futures price rose on Wednesday. The closing price of the September contract was 12,900 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.22%. The spot price of cotton decreased slightly.

It is expected that the egg price will be mostly stable and a few will decline today [19]. - Trading Strategy: The supply still dominates the current egg price. With the increase in temperature and new production pressure, the upward pressure on egg prices is increasing. A short - selling strategy should be maintained [20]. 3.6 Live Pigs - Market Situation: The domestic live pig price was mainly stable yesterday, with a slight increase in some areas. The slaughter enterprise orders are difficult to increase, and the live pig price is expected to be stable today [22]. - Trading Strategy: The short - term price of live pigs fluctuates little, and the pressure accumulates due to the increase in weight.
