Report Title - The report is titled "Weekly Oil Report 20250509: Accumulation of Malaysian Palm Oil Stocks Gradually Realized, Oil Price Spread Repair" [1][2][10] Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report Core Viewpoints Palm Oil - The downside space is limited, with support at the [7700] level for the p2509 contract. The Southeast Asian palm oil production is in a seasonal transition phase, with subsequent production expected to recover, and prices are expected to be under pressure in the medium to long term. The Indonesian B40 policy has not been clearly implemented, and its positive impact is expected to be limited. Domestic inventory is low, and subsequent ship purchases are slow, resulting in tight supply, but low cost - effectiveness restricts demand. Overall, short - term macro sentiment has eased, but there is still a weakening expectation in the future, and prices are expected to fluctuate weakly. Attention should be paid to the 09 spreads of soybean - palm and rapeseed - palm [3] Soybean Oil - The downside space is limited, with support at the [7500] level for the y2509 contract. Globally, South American soybeans are in a continuous high - yield pattern, and the supply is relatively sufficient. The fundamental pressure on US soybeans is limited, but the expected decline in the new - season planting area and the upgrade of China - US tariffs are negative for US soybean exports. CBOT soybeans are under pressure, but the downside space may be limited, with support around 950 cents per bushel. Domestically, the supply of imported soybeans is expected to increase in the second quarter, and the soybean oil inventory is at a neutral level, with supply expected to remain loose. In the medium to long term, the impact of weather is expected to increase due to the significant reduction in US planting area, and the uncertainty of China - US trade relations remains. It is recommended to buy on dips for the y2509 contract, and pay attention to the regression opportunity of the 09 soybean - palm spread and the short - selling opportunity of the oil - tank ratio [3][6] Rapeseed Oil - In the short term, it is prone to rise but the upside space is limited, with resistance at the [9700] level for the OI509 contract. Globally, the supply - demand of oilseeds in the 2024/25 season remains loose, but the supply - demand of rapeseeds has tightened marginally due to the slight reduction in Canadian rapeseed production and frost - induced减产 in the EU. The high - yield expectation of South American new crops still exerts pressure on the oilseed sector. Domestically, the rapeseed oil inventory is at a five - year high, and the supply of near - month rapeseeds and rapeseed oil is expected to remain loose. Recently, China's tariff policy on Canada has strengthened the downside support for rapeseed oil, but the domestic loose supply may limit the upside space. In the short term, it is expected to fluctuate, and there may be phased long - buying opportunities in the medium to long term. Attention should be paid to the regression opportunity of the 09 rapeseed - palm spread [4] Summary by Directory Southeast Asian Palm Oil - The Malaysian BMD crude palm oil futures market showed narrow - range fluctuations this week. The increase in Malaysian palm oil production is being gradually realized, and the inventory accumulation expectation has put obvious pressure on the futures price. The increase in purchase intentions from China and India and the slight rebound in international crude oil prices led to a rebound after the price hit an eight - month low. High - frequency data shows that the export volume of Malaysian palm oil in April increased by 3.6 - 5.1% month - on - month, but production is expected to increase by 14.74 - 19.88% month - on - month, and it is expected that Malaysia will continue to accumulate inventory to 156 - 175 tons in April. The export volume of Malaysian palm oil from May 1 - 5 increased by 19.88% month - on - month, and production increased by 60.17% month - on - month. In Indonesia, the export reference price of crude palm oil in May 2025 has been lowered. In India, the import of palm oil increased in March due to post - Ramadan restocking demand, but there are rumors that India may raise the import tariff on edible oils, which may suppress import demand [15][22] US Soybeans and Soybean Oil - CBOT soybean futures fluctuated weakly this week. The ongoing South American soybean harvest season and concerns about demand have put pressure on the market. The good dry weather in the US Midwest is expected to facilitate soybean planting. As of May 4, the US soybean planting rate reached 30%, higher than last year and the five - year average. As of May 6, about 15% of the US soybean - producing areas were affected by drought, similar to the previous week. As of April 24, the cumulative export of US soybeans in the 24/25 season was 4327.96 tons, a 12.78% increase year - on - year, and the completion rate of the USDA's forecast is 95.46%. The weather in the US Midwest is generally good this week, with limited rainfall opportunities later [31][32][33] South American Soybeans and Soybean Oil - The South American soybean harvest is coming to an end, and the high - yield expectation is becoming a reality. The USDA's April supply - demand report estimated a record - high production of 169 million tons for Brazilian soybeans in the 2024/25 season and a reduced production of 49 million tons for Argentine soybeans. As of May 3, the Brazilian soybean harvest progress was 97.7%, a 2.9% increase from last week. Various institutions expect an increase in Brazilian soybean production in the 2024/25 season compared to the previous year. The Argentine soybean harvest progress as of April 29 was accelerating, and the BAGE estimated the 2024/25 Argentine soybean production to be 50 million tons [64][65][69] Global Rapeseeds and Rapeseed Oil - The global rapeseed supply in the 2024/25 season has tightened marginally. The USDA's April report showed a slight decline in global rapeseed production compared to the previous year. Exports and crushing of rapeseeds have both been adjusted downwards. The ending inventory has increased slightly, and the stock - to - consumption ratio has recovered to 10.41%, at a relatively low - to - neutral level in recent years. Canada is expected to see a 1.7% decline in rapeseed planting area in 2025. In the past two weeks, precipitation in the Canadian prairie provinces has been relatively low, but it is expected to improve in the next week. As of May 4, the Canadian rapeseed oil export volume increased by 8.02% week - on - week to 18.45 tons [76][77][78] Domestic Oils Market Review - This week, domestic oils showed a more differentiated performance. Palm oil and soybean oil fluctuated weakly, while rapeseed oil was relatively strong. Palm oil was dragged down by the expected inventory accumulation in Malaysia, and the domestic import profit has been rapidly repaired, stimulating near - month ship purchases. Soybean oil was affected by the weak external market and the unclear macro - environment. Rapeseed oil was supported by China - Canada trade relations and tariff policies, and the dry weather in Canadian rapeseed - producing areas also contributed to its strength [97] Future Outlook - Palm oil: Supply is expected to be tight in the short term, but medium - to - long - term production increases may limit the upside. Pay attention to short - selling opportunities for distant - month palm oil on rallies. The soybean - palm and rapeseed - palm spreads are expected to repair, but the repair rhythm may be slow. - Soybean oil: It is recommended to buy on dips for the y2509 contract. Pay attention to the regression opportunity of the 09 soybean - palm spread and the short - selling opportunity of the oil - tank ratio. - Rapeseed oil: It is expected to fluctuate in the short term, and there may be phased long - buying opportunities in the medium to long term. Pay attention to the export situation in Canada, domestic arrivals, crushing, and提货 situations [97][98][99] Pressing, Production, and Consumption - In the 18th week (April 26 - May 2), the actual soybean crushing volume of domestic oil mills was 152.3 tons, and the开机率 was 42.81%. It is expected to increase to 174.3 tons in the 19th week, with an开机率 of 49%. The trading volume of soybean oil decreased. As of April 30, the coastal rapeseed crushing volume was 9.55 tons, a decrease from the previous period, and the rapeseed oil production decreased to 3.92 tons. The提货 volume increased slightly. The trading volume of palm oil increased this week [101][102] Inventory - As of April 28, 2025, the total commercial inventory of the three major oils (soybean, palm, and rapeseed) in key domestic regions was 177.88 tons, a 0.90% increase from last week and a 5.94% increase year - on - year. Soybean oil and rapeseed oil inventory increased slightly, while palm oil inventory decreased slightly [126] Basis and Spread - This week, the soybean oil spot basis was weakly adjusted, with northern prices remaining firm and southern prices starting to decline. The palm oil basis declined steadily, and the rapeseed oil basis was slightly adjusted downwards. As of May 9, the September basis of soybean oil (Tianjin) was 395 yuan/ton, the September basis of palm oil (Guangzhou) was 579 yuan/ton, and the September basis of rapeseed oil (Zhangjiagang) was 230 yuan/ton [155]
