1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After a significant decline, the oil market has stabilized and is experiencing a technical rebound. However, in the short term, there is still a lack of obvious drivers, and the expected increase is limited [25][27]. - It is expected that after the Malaysian palm oil inventory accumulates in October, it will gradually start to decline slightly, but the inventory will still remain at a moderately high level. The production forecast of Indonesian palm oil has been raised, and the inventory is expected to remain low, but the fundamentals have weakened marginally compared to before. The domestic palm oil inventory has been continuously accumulating, and the supply may be relatively loose. Currently, there is no prominent core contradiction in soybean oil, and its price fluctuates more in line with the overall trend of the oil market, with limited upward momentum but greater resilience. In the short term, the domestic rapeseed supply is insufficient, and the import volume of rapeseed oil is also relatively limited. The domestic rapeseed oil inventory is expected to continue to decline, but there are rumors of Australian rapeseed arrivals, which alleviates the expectation of a tight rapeseed supply [4][25]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 First Part: Weekly Core Points Analysis and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 International Market - Malaysian Palm Oil - Estimated institutions predict that the Malaysian palm oil production will increase by 6% to 1.95 million tons in October, exports will increase to 1.48 million tons, and the inventory will accumulate to 2.44 million tons. However, MPOA's latest forecast shows a 12% increase to 2.07 million tons, and UOB also expects an increase of 8 - 12%. If these production forecasts are accurate, the inventory in October may increase to over 2.5 million tons. Attention should be paid to the MPOB report next Monday [5][7]. - SPPOMA predicts a 6.8% month - on - month increase in Malaysian palm oil production in the first 5 days of November. The rainfall forecast indicates that most producing areas will be dry in the next week, with more rainfall in parts of southern Malaysia. The drought will ease in the next two weeks, and southern Malaysia will still have relatively high rainfall [7]. - Some reports predict that the Malaysian palm oil production in the 2025/26 season may be 19.2 million tons, while this year's production is 19.38 million tons. Currently, the market expects the production in the new season to be flat or slightly lower year - on - year [7]. 3.1.2 International Market - Indonesian Palm Oil - Recently, the prices of Indonesian fruit bunches and CPO tender prices have been fluctuating weakly, currently lower than last year but still at a relatively high level in the same historical period. This year's production in Indonesia has recovered beyond market expectations, and Gapki has recently raised this year's production forecast to 56 - 57 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 8 - 10%. Some reports predict that the palm oil production in Indonesia in the 2025/26 season will be 51 million tons, 4% higher than the previous forecast but still lower than last year. The production forecast for the 2024/25 season has been raised to 53 million tons, reflecting better - than - expected production in July and August. Overall, the market has different forecasts for the production of Indonesian palm oil in the new year [10]. - The Indonesian Statistics Bureau shows that the exports of palm oil and refined palm oil from January to September this year were 17.58 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 11.62% [10]. 3.1.3 International Market - Indian Palm Oil and Edible Oil - Due to increased domestic inventory, weak demand in the food industry, and a narrowing price difference with other oilseeds, India's palm oil imports in October dropped to a five - year low of 750,000 tons. The main reason for the decrease in imports is the sufficient inventory in Indian ports and warehouses, currently holding over 1.2 million tons of edible oil. In addition, the relatively low prices of soybean oil and sunflower oil have prompted refineries to change their preferences [13]. - Traders said that India's total edible oil imports in the 2024/25 season increased slightly by 0.3% year - on - year to 16 million tons. Among them, palm oil imports decreased by 16% year - on - year to 7.56 million tons, the lowest level in five years; soybean oil imports increased by 61.6% year - on - year to a record 5.56 million tons; and sunflower oil imports decreased by 17.7% year - on - year to 2.88 million tons, the lowest level in three years. This week, there were rumors that India had purchased over 100,000 tons of palm oil and some soybean oil, with the shipping dates mainly concentrated in December and later [13]. 3.1.4 Domestic Palm Oil - As of October 31, 2025 (week 44), the commercial inventory of palm oil in key national regions was 592,800 tons, a decrease of 14,300 tons from the previous week, a decline of 2.36%. Recently, the palm oil inventory has decreased slightly and is at a neutral level in the same historical period. The origin quotes are stable, and the import profit inversion has narrowed, currently around - 300. It is rumored that three ships were purchased this week, and it is expected that the palm oil purchases in October and November will exceed 200,000 tons. The basis is stable. Attention should be paid to future domestic purchases and arrivals [16]. 3.1.5 Domestic Soybean Oil - As of October 31, 2025, the commercial inventory of soybean oil in key national regions was 1.2158 million tons, a decrease of 34,500 tons from the previous week, a decline of 2.76%. Currently, the soybean oil inventory is at a relatively high level in the same historical period, but the inventory inflection point may have been reached, and the basis is strengthening steadily. This week, the total spot trading volume of soybean oil was 81,000 tons, an increase from the previous week, but the overall trading volume is still weak [20]. - China has lowered the import tariff on US soybeans to 13%, but it is still difficult for commercial purchases. However, it is rumored that domestic purchases of US soybeans have begun. Attention should be paid to the purchase rhythm of US soybeans. In the short term, the domestic soybean oil supply is sufficient, the price increase is weak, and there is a lack of obvious drivers. It is expected to maintain a volatile trend [20]. 3.1.6 Domestic Rapeseed Oil - As of October 31, 2025, the coastal rapeseed oil inventory was 514,000 tons, a decrease of 21,000 tons from the previous week. It is still at a high level in the same historical period, but the inventory is continuously decreasing marginally. Currently, the rapeseed inventory has reached the bottom, and the rapeseed crushing volume of major coastal oil mills this week was 0 tons, with an operating rate of 0%. It is rumored that Australian rapeseed will arrive at the end of the year, which is the first export of Australian rapeseed to China in five years. The FOB quote of European rapeseed oil has remained stable at around $1,100, and the import profit inversion of European rapeseed oil has widened to around - 1,100. The market still has a sentiment of holding back sales at high prices, and the domestic rapeseed oil basis is strengthening steadily. It is expected that the coastal inventory decline trend will continue [23]. 3.1.7 Strategy Recommendations - Unilateral strategy: After a significant decline, the oil market has stabilized and is experiencing a technical rebound. However, in the short term, there is still a lack of obvious drivers, and the expected increase is limited. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being [27]. - Arbitrage strategy: Long OI 1 - 5 spread and short P1 - 5 spread [27]. - Option strategy: Wait and see [27]. 3.2 Second Part: Weekly Data Tracking - The report provides a large amount of data on the production, export, inventory, consumption, and price of palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil in Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and the domestic market, as well as data on the import, consumption, and basis of various oils in the domestic market [31][38][43]. These data are presented in the form of tables and charts, including monthly and weekly data, which can be used to track the market trends of the oil industry.
