Core Views - External market (US soybeans): The US soybean futures contracts were weak, with the main contract close to 1055 cents. There was a rebound in the previous period due to the digestion of negative factors. Although the January USDA report raised the ending stocks of the new US soybean season, the price was already significantly below the US soybean planting cost, so the downside was relatively limited. The weekly US soybean export data was good for two consecutive weeks, and there were relatively positive expectations for biodiesel policies, leading to a small - scale rebound. However, fundamentally, due to the basically determined high - yield pattern of Brazilian soybeans, the subsequent supply pressure would always put downward pressure on the market. If US soybean exports weakened or the weather in Argentina improved, the external market might continue to fall below 1050 cents [7]. - Domestic soybean meal: The 05 and subsequent contracts were priced based on the external market cost. Since there was a lack of potential positive factors in the CBOT, the overall trend was range - bound, and the rebound was slightly bearish. The risk was that if the subsequent auction of imported soybeans fell short of expectations, it might drive the spot price to rise unexpectedly, which could have a small positive impact on the 05 contract [7]. 4. Industry News - The US Treasury Department issued the 45Z proposed rules on Tuesday to regulate how biofuel producers can obtain a $1 - per - gallon tax credit for low - carbon fuels (including aviation fuels), providing more certainty for producers of ethanol, biodiesel, and other products seeking tax credits. However, analysts pointed out that there were still some unresolved issues in the regulations [10]. - The USDA's monthly soybean crushing data showed that the US soybean crushing volume in December reached the second - highest level in history. The December crushing volume was 229.9 million bushels (equivalent to 6.896 million short tons), a 4.2% increase from November's 220.5 million bushels and a 5.6% increase from December 2024's 217.7 million bushels. The December crushing volume was the second - highest monthly crushing volume, second only to the 236.3 million bushels in October 2025 [10]. - Crop experts estimated the 2025/26 Argentine soybean production at 48 million tons, lower than the previous week's forecast of 49 million tons and the USDA's current estimate of 48.5 million tons. The southern planting area in Argentina has recently become drier, with insufficient rainfall for most of the next few weeks, which requires close attention. The expected 2025/26 Brazilian soybean production remained unchanged at a record 179 million tons, with a tendency to maintain or increase the forecast in the future [10][11]
