1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The agricultural products sector shows a mixed performance. The oil and fat sectors are experiencing a significant decline, the live pig market has tumbled, and the egg market is also under pressure due to high inventories. On the other hand, the cotton market is fluctuating at a high level, and the sugar market is experiencing a decline and consolidation. The soybean meal market is rising in a volatile manner, and the soybean market is continuing to move sideways after a pullback. The corn market is falling in a volatile manner, the apple market is oscillating at a low level, and the trend remains downward [1]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Agricultural Products Sector Overview - The entire oil and fat sector has dropped significantly. Affected by the decline in crude oil prices, the market lacks confidence in the demand for US soybean oil in biofuels. The production and inventory of palm oil in producing areas have surged, bringing seasonal supply pressure. Domestic soybean oil is also under pressure from the expected increase in supply due to the rising operating rate of oil mills. The live pig market has tumbled due to high inventories at the breeding end, sufficient supply of standard and fat pigs, and weak downstream demand. The egg market has also declined under the pressure of high inventories [1]. 3.2 Variety Strategy Tracking 3.2.1 Palm Oil - The main palm oil contract 2509 has dropped significantly, giving back most of the previous day's gains. Affected by the decline in crude oil prices, the market is worried that the demand for US soybean oil in biofuels will fall short of expectations, and bullish sentiment has cooled rapidly. The monthly report of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) shows that the production and inventory of palm oil in Malaysia increased sharply in April, suppressing the upward space of Malaysian palm oil prices. The Dalian palm oil main contract 2509 closed with a long negative line, falling below the 20 - day moving average, indicating a weakening trend. The strategy is short - term trading, with support at 8018 and resistance at 8200 [2]. 3.2.2 Soybean Oil - The main soybean oil contract 2509 has dropped significantly, giving back all of the previous day's gains. Affected by the decline in crude oil prices, market sentiment has reversed, causing the price to fall. The high - level decline of crude oil futures prices has led to concerns that the demand for US soybean oil in biofuels will fall short of expectations. In the domestic market, imported soybeans have arrived at ports in a concentrated manner, and the operating rate of oil mills has increased, leading to an expected increase in soybean oil supply. The main soybean oil contract 2509 has reversed and tumbled, breaking below most moving averages, indicating a weakening technical pattern. The strategy is to hold a light short position, with support at 7744 and resistance at 7808 [3]. 3.2.3 Live Pig - The live pig contract 2509 has tumbled, giving back all of the previous day's gains and hitting a new low, opening up downward space. At the breeding end, the inventory of live pigs is at a high level, the supply of suitable - weight standard pigs has increased in May, and the slaughter plan of large - scale pig enterprises has increased month - on - month. In addition, the price difference between standard and fat pigs has narrowed or even inverted, and farms are actively selling large - weight pigs, increasing the supply pressure. On the demand side, after the May Day holiday, the purchase and sale of pork has declined, catering and tourism consumption has cooled down, and residents mainly focus on household consumption. With sufficient substitutes, mainstream slaughterhouses lack an increase in orders, and demand support is insufficient. The Dalian live pig main contract 2509 has reversed and tumbled, with sharp daily fluctuations. The price has broken through the moving average system and the previous fluctuation range, hitting a new low, and the downward space may be opened, indicating a weakening technical pattern. The strategy is to hold a light short position, with support at 13650 and resistance at 13890 [6]. 3.2.4 Cotton - The main cotton contract 2509 has fluctuated narrowly at a high level after a strong upward movement, undergoing technical correction, and the upward trend remains unchanged. After the high - level talks between China and the US on economy and trade, bilateral tariffs have been significantly reduced, exceeding market expectations. Some orders may be restarted during the buffer period, boosting market sentiment. Terminal enterprises in Zhengzhou have successively shipped orders that were suspended from processing or shipping before the release of equal tariffs, alleviating inventory pressure. Coupled with domestic macro - level positives, cotton prices are supported. The main cotton futures contract 2509 has fluctuated narrowly at a high level after a strong upward movement, undergoing technical correction. The price is still fluctuating above the medium - term moving average, and the MACD red column is expanding, indicating a strong technical pattern. The strategy is to hold a light long position, with support at 13275 and resistance at 13500 [7][9]. 3.2.5 Sugar - The main sugar contract 2509 has declined and oscillated, closing with a small negative line with a lower shadow, and the trend is not yet clear. Overseas raw sugar futures prices have fallen from high levels as the market focuses on the future production growth in Brazil. The domestic window for importing sugar outside the quota has opened, increasing the pressure of future sugar arrivals at ports. However, it will take time for the imported sugar to arrive. Currently, the domestic market still relies on domestic sugar supply. The sugar sales rate in April was relatively fast, and with the approaching of the summer consumption peak season, the food and beverage industry has a demand for stocking up, supporting sugar prices. The main sugar contract 2509 has declined and oscillated, with limited decline. The strategy can be short - term trading for now, with support at 5873 and resistance at 5904 [10]. 3.2.6 Soybean Meal - The main soybean meal contract 2509 has oscillated and closed with a positive line, driven by the strength of US soybeans. The domestic spot price of soybean meal has varied. The low operating rate in some areas has supported a small rebound in the soybean meal price. However, imported soybeans have arrived at ports in a concentrated manner, and the overall operating rate of national oil mills has rebounded, with a strong expectation of sufficient soybean meal supply. Currently, the soybean meal price is close to the cost price of oil mills, and the oil mills' prices are relatively firm. The main soybean meal contract 2509 has closed with two consecutive positive lines, and the price has stood above the 5 - day and 10 - day moving averages, indicating a warming technical pattern. The strategy is to close short positions and conduct short - term trading, with support at 2906 and resistance at 2950 [12]. 3.2.7 Soybean - The main soybean contract 2507 has risen and then fallen, closing with a small negative line with an upper shadow, showing an oscillating and continuously sideways movement. There is little remaining soybeans at the grass - roots level, and the supply of soybeans in domestic producing areas is limited. Farmers are busy with spring plowing, and overall trading is light. The purchase and sales pattern in the sales areas is also stable, with little price change. Imported soybeans have arrived at ports in a concentrated manner, and the supply is gradually increasing. Oil mills' demand for domestic soybeans has decreased. The downstream soybean product industry has entered the off - season, and downstream demand is weak. The main soybean contract 2507 has risen and then fallen, encountering resistance in the upward movement, and the price has returned to the short - term sideways range. The strategy is to close short positions and wait for opportunities, with support at 4132 and resistance at 4196 [15]. 3.2.8 Corn - The main corn contract 2507 has oscillated and closed with a negative line, giving back the previous day's rebound, showing a weakening technical pattern and facing further adjustment pressure. The grass - roots grain sales progress is approaching the end, and last week's sales progress remained stable. Corn starch processing enterprises are making losses, and the operating rate has declined. The prices of wheat and corn are close, and during the upcoming concentrated listing period of wheat, the substitution pressure may increase. After the corn price reached a high level, downstream feed enterprises have low acceptance and limited purchases. The Dalian main corn contract 2507 has declined, testing the support of the 20 - day moving average again, and the technical pattern shows weakening pressure. The strategy can be short - term trading for now, with support at 2326 and resistance at 2356 [16][18]. 3.2.9 Egg - The main egg contract 2506 has dropped significantly, approaching the previous low, and the downward space may be opened. The inventory of laying hens is at a high level, with 1.329 billion in April, a month - on - month increase of 11 million. The number of newly - laid hens has increased, and there is an expectation of a continued increase in inventory. The supply of eggs is sufficient. The terminal market has limited acceptance of high - priced eggs, the sales pace has slowed down, and inventory digestion is slow. Egg prices are weakening steadily. With the rising temperature, eggs are not easy to store, and the trading link may accelerate the shipment. The demand side is seasonally weakening, and the pattern of strong supply and weak demand continues. The main egg contract 2506 has dropped significantly, falling far from the moving average, and may open the downward space, showing a weak technical pattern. The strategy is to continue to short, with support at 2852 and resistance at 2900 [19]. 3.2.10 Apple - The main apple contract 2510 has oscillated narrowly at a low level, closing with a small positive line with an upper shadow, and the downward trend remains unchanged. In the apple - producing areas, farmers are busy with farm work, the cold - storage packaging and shipping have decreased, the sales pace is average, and the market in the producing areas is stable. Currently, competing melons and fruits are gradually coming to the market, increasing alternative consumption and impacting the demand for apples, suppressing the apple price. The main apple contract 2510 has oscillated at a low level, and the price is fluctuating near the previous low. The MACD green column continues to expand, showing a weak technical pattern. The strategy is to hold a light short position, with support at 7688 and resistance at 7770 [21].
