Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The strong pattern of oils is difficult to change in the short - term due to factors such as the low inventory of oils in the same period over the years, the expected increase in US biodiesel demand, and the potential insufficiency of palm oil production increase in Southeast Asia. However, the upside space is limited by factors like the annual - level oil production increase expectation, high near - term palm oil production, and uncertain RVO rules. Palm oil is expected to be range - bound, with a possible upward trend in the fourth quarter due to Indonesia's B50 policy [11]. Summary by Directory 1. Monthly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - Market Review: In July, rapeseed oil fluctuated, while palm oil and soybean oil rose. The net long positions of foreign capital in the three major oils oscillated near historical highs. Malaysian palm oil may have slightly increased its inventory in July due to rising production and declining exports. Ex - market rapeseed prices entered a range - bound pattern after a high - level correction. The spread between soybean oil and palm oil widened [11]. - International Oils: The USDA July report estimated an increase of about 1.5 million tons in US industrial demand for soybean oil in the 2025/2026 season. Canadian rapeseed farmers' shipments decreased, and the contact between China and Australia on rapeseed trade pressured rapeseed prices. India may start a replenishment process, supporting palm oil export demand [11]. - Domestic Oils: In July, soybean oil had good sales, while palm oil sales were weak. The total domestic oil inventory was about 400,000 tons higher than last year. In the next two months, soybean crushing volume will decline slightly, palm oil export willingness will increase, and rapeseed oil will gradually reduce its inventory [11]. - Viewpoint Summary: Fundamentally, factors such as the US biodiesel policy draft, low inventory of vegetable oils in India and Southeast Asia, and the expectation of Indonesia's B50 policy support the oil price center. Palm oil prices are expected to be range - bound in the short - term and may rise in the fourth quarter, but the upside is limited [11]. - Trading Strategy: For single - side trading, the market is expected to be range - bound. No specific arbitrage strategy is recommended [13]. 2.
