The final area and yield data are awaited for new guidance [1][4] - Rapeseed Meal: Short-term bullish.

Attention should be paid to the subsequent progress of China-Australia relations and Canada's response to China's anti-dumping results [1][6] - Palm Oil: Short-term bullish, with a focus on buying on dips. The impact of the Russia-Ukraine negotiation on crude oil prices and the actual export and production of Malaysian palm oil this month should be monitored [1][7] - Cotton: Cautiously bullish.

China is in the inventory accumulation stage for soybeans and soybean meal, with the inventory accumulation rate expected to slow down in August. The US Department of Agriculture's August supply and demand report unexpectedly lowered the US soybean planting area but increased the yield per unit, resulting in a decrease in the final US soybean production and ending inventory [1] - Price and Inventory: The futures price of the main contract closed at 3160 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.03%. The national average spot price was 3101.71 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.32%. As of August 15, the national port soybean inventory was 892.6 million tons, a decrease of 1.2 million tons from last week; the soybean inventory of 125 oil mills was 680.4 million tons, a decrease of 30.16 million tons from last week; the soybean meal inventory was 101.47 million tons, an increase of 1.12 million tons from last week [2][3] - Operation Suggestion: Maintain a bullish and volatile view, but be cautious when chasing long positions. Pay attention to the final area and yield data [1][4] Rapeseed Meal - Market Situation: The global rapeseed production has recovered year-on-year, but there is a risk of a decrease in the yield per unit of Canadian rapeseed. China's oil mill rapeseed and rapeseed meal inventories are decreasing month-on-month, but the inventory is still at a relatively high level year-on-year. The 100% import tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal and the anti-dumping deposit on rapeseed provide strong support for the rapeseed meal price [1] - Price and Inventory: The futures price of the main contract closed at 2627 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.88%. The national average spot price was 2675.26 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.40%. As of August 15, the coastal area's main oil mill rapeseed inventory was 11.5 million tons, a decrease of 2.38 million tons from last week; the rapeseed meal inventory was 2.55 million tons, a decrease of 0.65 million tons from last week [5] - Operation Suggestion: Short-term bullish. Opportunities for short-term long positions on dips can be considered, but chasing long positions should be done with caution. Pay attention to the subsequent progress of China-Australia relations and Canada's response to China's anti-dumping results [1][6] Palm Oil - Market Situation: The biodiesel policies of Indonesia and Malaysia are beneficial to the consumption expectation of the palm oil market, and there is purchasing demand from China and India. The export data in the first 20 days of August are good [1] - Inventory and Export: As of August 15, the commercial inventory of palm oil in key regions across the country was 61.73 million tons, an increase of 1.75 million tons from last week. The export volume of Malaysian palm oil products from August 1 - 20 was 869,780 tons, a 17.5% increase from the same period last month [7] - Operation Suggestion: Short-term bullish, with a focus on buying on dips. Attention should be paid to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine negotiation on crude oil prices and the actual export and production of Malaysian palm oil this month [1][7] Cotton - Market Situation: The short-term soil moisture of US cotton continues to improve, which is negative for the market. The demand side still faces a shortage. However, the international cotton price is at a relatively low valuation level. The short-term rhythm of Zhengzhou cotton focuses on the supply before the new cotton is listed [1][11] - Price and Inventory: The main contract of Zhengzhou cotton, CF2509, decreased by 0.50% to 14055 yuan/ton, and the domestic spot price decreased by 0.03% to 15239 yuan/ton. The ICE cotton main contract decreased by 0.04% to 67.53 cents/pound. The domestic cotton commercial inventory decreased by 15.06 million tons to 185.61 million tons [8][9] - Operation Suggestion: Cautiously bullish. Consider buying on dips.

In the short term, the market speculation period around the purchase price before November is relatively long, and the recent inventory reduction speed has accelerated, which is beneficial to the bullish trend [1][14] - Price and Inventory: The main contract of red dates, CJ2601, decreased by 0.77% to 11530 yuan/ton. The physical inventory of 36 sample points this week was 9686 tons, a decrease of 98 tons from last week, but still higher than the same period [12][13] - Operation Suggestion: Cautiously bullish. The strategy is expected to be strong first and then weak. Currently, the market is recommended to buy on dips [1][14] Live Pigs - Market Situation: In the short term, the planned slaughter volume of Steel Union sample enterprises in August increased by 5.26% month-on-month, and there is still supply pressure. In the medium term, the number of newborn piglets from January to July continued to increase, and it is expected that the slaughter volume of live pigs in the second half of the year will still have room for growth. In the long term, the inventory of breeding sows in June was 40.43 million, and there will still be relatively high supply pressure until May 2026. However, the incremental capacity of large-scale breeding enterprises is basically zero, and the inventory of small and medium-sized farmers has even decreased slightly [1][16][17] - Price and Inventory: The main contract of live pigs, Lh2511, decreased by 0.72% to 13775 yuan/ton, and the domestic live pig spot price remained stable at 14340 yuan/ton.
