  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the week of May 16, 2025, the prices of US soybean futures first rose and then fell. The prices rose due to the substantial progress in the China - US economic and trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland, and the release of the "Joint Statement of the China - US Geneva Economic and Trade Talks", as well as the bullish May USDA report. The prices fell because of concerns about biodiesel policies. The main 07 contract of US soybeans had a weekly decline of 0.12%, and the main 07 contract of US soybean meal had a weekly decline of 0.75% [2]. - In the same week, domestic soybean meal futures prices showed mixed trends, and soybean No. 1 futures prices fluctuated horizontally. Under the background of the easing of China - US trade frictions, soybean meal futures prices were generally weak, but recently the market was mainly in a volatile state. For soybean No. 1, the spot prices were stable with a slight upward trend, and the futures had no clear guidance and mainly fluctuated following other soybean varieties. The main m2509 contract of soybean meal had a weekly decline of 0.00%, and the main a2507 contract of soybean No. 1 had a weekly increase of 0.36% [3]. - In the coming week (May 19 - 23, 2025), it is expected that the futures prices of Dalian soybean meal and soybean No. 1 will fluctuate. The easing of China - US trade frictions is bullish for the US soybean futures prices and bearish for domestic soybean meal. It is expected that the market will shift to fundamental trading, and more attention should be paid to the weather, planting, and early growth in the US soybean - producing areas. For domestic soybean No. 1, due to the small amount of remaining grain in the market, strong spot prices, and the market waiting for state - reserve soybean sales, the prices are expected to fluctuate [7]. 3.

Due to wet or dry soil in other areas, farmers were waiting for a better sowing time.
