Report Summary 1. Core View - Brazil's soybean harvest progress in the 2025/26 season is 68% as of March 19, 2026, 8 percentage points higher than the previous week but still behind last year's 80%. The harvest speeded up due to rainfall interruption in the Matopiba region and significant progress in previously lagging states [1] - The expected spring soybean planting area in the US this year is 86.1 million acres, higher than the USDA's February forecast of 85 million acres. The expected corn planting area is 94.4 million acres, higher than the February forecast of 94 million acres. The market is waiting for the USDA's planting intention report [1] - As of March 19, 2026, the US soybean export inspection volume for the week was 1,101,730 tons, compared with 833,816 tons in the same period last year.

If soybean arrivals are normal and state reserve sales are implemented, the near - month crushing profit will narrow slightly, but the decline is limited due to high import costs [2] - In March, palm oil trade flow changed significantly due to energy market fluctuations and new policy pressures. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East increased supply - chain risks, disrupted regional trade, and led to longer shipping routes, higher freight uncertainties, and increased insurance costs. Refiners in the region are consuming inventory instead of purchasing new goods [2] - Indonesia's increase in export tax and the improvement of biodiesel economic benefits make exporters re - evaluate export volumes. The rise in diesel prices encourages more palm oil for domestic energy use. Market speculation about the B50 policy resurfaced, which may increase Indonesia's domestic crude palm oil demand by about 2 million tons and tighten export supply [2] - As of March 20, 2026, the total commercial inventory of three major oils (soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil) in China is 2312900 tons, a decrease of 57000 tons (2.41%) from last week and a decrease of 62900 tons (2.65%) year - on - year [3] - Trump's social media message led to a decline in the crude oil and oil sectors. The short - term price movement of the oil sector is hard to predict due to the unresolved Iran issue. Whether crude oil prices can remain high is the most important factor for the oil trend [3][4] 2. Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 3.
