Industry Information - The industry under research is the soybean meal industry [1] - The report date is September 8, 2025 [2] - The research team consists of Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, and Liu Youran [4] Market Review - Contract Performance: The settlement prices, opening prices, highs, lows, closing prices, changes, change percentages, trading volumes, open interests, and open interest changes of contracts such as soybean meal 2601, 2609, and 2611 are presented. For example, the soybean meal 2601 contract had a previous settlement price of 3063, an opening price of 3043, a high of 3072, a low of 3042, a closing price of 3067, a change of 4, and a change percentage of 0.13%. Its trading volume was 767,878, and the open interest was 1,996,647 with a decrease of 46,634 [6] - External Market: The US soybean futures contracts on the external market fluctuated, with the main contract at 1030 cents. The external environment has stabilized this week, with limited fundamental information interference. The weather conditions for the new US soybean crop have worsened, showing dry conditions in mid - to late August. The current weather pattern is similar to last year's, where the early growth period had good weather, and the USDA adjusted the yield per unit area to a high level in August. However, the weather turned dry starting in August. There is a possibility that the final excellent - good rate this year may be significantly lower than the August forecast, but the September report is less likely to change, and more adjustments to the yield per unit area can be expected in the October report [6] - Market Focus: The recent unfavorable weather has not brought significant bullish sentiment to CBOT soybeans. Instead, the market is mainly focused on the pessimistic outlook for new - season exports. As the US soybean harvest approaches, China has not started purchasing US soybeans, increasing the pressure on US soybeans. Although China may stop purchasing US soybeans, due to the significant reduction in planting area and the expected decrease in yield per unit area, the pressure on ending stocks is not as great as last year. Overall, the CBOT price remains in a bottom - oscillating pattern, with the possibility of being weak first and then strong in the medium term [6] - Domestic Situation: China's soybean meal market is in a fundamental situation of wide current supply and tight future expectations. In the medium term, with a 23% tariff on imported US soybeans remaining unchanged, China will mainly import Brazilian soybeans in the fourth quarter to replace US soybeans, supplemented by some Argentine soybeans. However, there may still be a small import gap, which may be filled by state - reserve auctions. Due to recent state - reserve soybean auctions and the weakening of CBOT soybeans, soybean meal lacks upward momentum. However, the problem of low imported soybean volume may gradually emerge in the fourth quarter after the National Day. Weather issues also need to be monitored in the October USDA report. After short - term oscillations, the medium - term outlook for soybean meal is bullish after corrections [6] Industry News - USDA Crop Growth Report: As of the week ending August 31, 2025, the excellent - good rate of US soybeans was 65%, lower than the market expectation of 68%, down from 69% the previous week, and the same as the same period last year. The pod - setting rate was 94%, up from 89% the previous week, higher than 93% in the same period last year, and in line with the five - year average. The defoliation rate was 11%, up from 4% the previous week, slightly lower than 12% in the same period last year, and slightly higher than the five - year average of 10% [7] - USDA Export Inspection Report: As of the week ending August 28, 2025, the US soybean export inspection volume was 472,914 tons, meeting expectations. The previous market forecast was between 200,000 - 500,000 tons, and the revised figure from the previous week was 393,189 tons. The export inspection volume to the Chinese mainland was 0 tons.
