Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - Spot Market: The peanut spot market has entered an oil - merchant separation phase. With the seasonal off - peak for peanut oil, peanut meal prices have slightly adjusted downward following soybean meal. Some oil mills have completed their essential stockpiling, while some may face partial shutdowns due to insufficient subsequent arrivals. As most farmers have finished sowing, some are selling their remaining peanuts. With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, there is essential stockpiling, leading to a concentration of peanut trading. The cost of intermediate inventories has not been profitable, and the cost of general peanuts has risen, resulting in firm and rising commodity quotes [2]. - Futures Market: The futures market is expected to be mainly volatile. From mid - May to mid - June, the remaining peanuts of farmers and grassroots traders will be forced out of the market, and some low - quality peanuts may temporarily lower prices. High import costs and risks limit the import space for traders. The market should focus on the new peanut sowing situation, and if the weather in the North China region is dry, the futures price may continue to rise [2]. 3.
