Group 1 - The investment rating of the shipping industry is not mentioned in the report [1] Group 2 - The core view of the report is that the freight index (European line) futures prices showed mixed trends on Tuesday, with the main contract EC2510 closing down 0.1% and the far - month contracts rising between 1 - 4%. The spot index continued to decline with a widening decline, weakening the support for futures prices. Geopolitical conflicts, price wars, weak labor markets, and sluggish internal demand in the eurozone all affect the market. Overall, there is uncertainty in the trade war, weak demand expectations for the shipping index (European line), large fluctuations in futures prices, and investors are advised to be cautious [1] Group 3 Futures Market Data - EC main contract closing price was 1169.700, down 1.2; EC second - main contract closing price was 1673.8, up 33.5. The spread between EC2510 - EC2512 was - 504.10, down 11.00; the spread between EC2510 - EC2602 was - 402.40, down 48.60. EC contract basis was 270.54, down 6.60.

The State Administration for Market Regulation will investigate NVIDIA for antitrust violations. The European Central Bank should maintain the current interest rate level, and interest rates are expected to remain unchanged for some time [1] Key Points - The freight index (European line) futures prices showed mixed trends, with the main contract down and the far - month contracts up. The spot index continued to decline, weakening the support for futures prices. Geopolitical conflicts, price wars, weak labor markets, and sluggish internal demand in the eurozone all affect the market. Overall, there is uncertainty in the trade war, weak demand expectations for the shipping index (European line), large fluctuations in futures prices, and investors are advised to be cautious [1] Key Data to Watch - UK's August CPI monthly rate, UK's August retail price index monthly rate, and eurozone's August CPI annual rate final value [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The USDA report for 2025/26 shows that the estimated US soybean yield per acre is slightly lower than last month but higher than analysts' expectations, with increased production and ending stocks, which is generally bearish. In the Canadian market, the 2025/26 rapeseed production is expected to increase, while exports are expected to decline. For domestic rapeseed meal, the short - term supply pressure is reduced due to less near - month arrivals, and the demand is seasonally increasing, but the substitution of soybean meal weakens the demand expectation. The rapeseed meal market is expected to be volatile. For domestic rapeseed oil, the overall supply and demand is loose, but the low oil mill operating rate and limited near - month purchases ease the supply pressure, and the market trend is relatively strong [2] 3.

The benchmark contract fell 1.16% due to the rapid progress of rapeseed harvesting in the prairie region and weak rapeseed exports. The decline in the external vegetable oil market also exerted downward pressure [2] - The USDA report shows that the estimated US soybean yield per acre in 2025/26 is 53.5 bushels, with increased production and ending stocks. The report is generally bearish [2] - The USDA report also shows that the Canadian rapeseed production in 2025/26 is expected to increase by 750,000 tons to 20 million tons, exports are expected to decrease by 900,000 tons to 6.7 million tons, domestic consumption is expected to increase by 500,000 tons to 12 million tons, and ending stocks are expected to increase by 1.34 million tons to 2.954 million tons [2] 3.8 Rapeseed Meal View Summary - Bullish factors: Near - month rapeseed arrivals are scarce, reducing supply pressure. The aquaculture season boosts the seasonal demand for rapeseed meal. The implementation of temporary anti - dumping measures on Canadian rapeseed weakens the long - term supply [2] - Bearish factors: The good substitution advantage of soybean meal weakens the demand expectation for rapeseed meal. The Canadian Minister of Agriculture is considering measures to avoid Chinese tariffs on Canadian rapeseed, and the bumper harvest of Canadian rapeseed is being realized [2] - Market trend: The rapeseed meal market is expected to be volatile in the short term, and short - term trading is recommended [2] 3.9 Rapeseed Oil View Summary - Bullish factors: The low operating rate of oil mills eases the production pressure of rapeseed oil. Near - month rapeseed purchases are limited, reducing supply pressure. The Ministry of Commerce has extended the anti - dumping investigation on Canadian rapeseed, restricting purchases [2] - Bearish factors: The boost from the start of the school term to terminal consumption is limited, and the domestic vegetable oil supply and demand is still loose [2] - Market trend: The rapeseed oil market has a relatively strong trend, and attention should be paid to China - Canada and China - US trade policies [2]
