Domestic oil prices are generally rising, but there are differences among varieties [6][59]. - Looking ahead to the next week, in the protein meal market, international soybeans may be affected by high - temperature weather, and the market is expected to be volatile and strong.

Summary by Directory Part 1: Protein Meal Market Analysis 1. Market Trend - This week, CBOT soybeans first rose and then fell. The initial rise was due to expectations of improved US soybean export demand and hot and dry weather in some Midwestern farmlands, as well as the adjustment of positions by grain traders before the USDA report. The subsequent fall was due to profit - taking by investors and concerns about export demand. Affected by this, the domestic soybean meal market also first rose and then fell, with the price center rising [6]. 2. Export and Supply - related Data - US soybean export inspection volume exceeded market expectations, with a 18% decrease compared to the previous week but a 48% increase compared to the same period last year.

The domestic soybean oil mill's average startup rate is 62.56%, an increase of 1.25% from last week. The domestic soybean meal inventory is 1.04 million tons, a decrease of 31,000 tons from last week [40][45]. Part 2: Oil Market Analysis 1.

Malaysian palm oil oscillated upward, but there are doubts about the sustainability of its export growth. Domestic oils generally rose, with soybean oil rising due to increased import costs, palm oil following Malaysian palm oil, and rapeseed oil first rising due to policies and then falling [59]. 2. International Oil - related Information - Indonesia may postpone the implementation of the B50 biodiesel plan, which may ease concerns about palm oil supply shortages. From August 1 - 10, Malaysian palm oil exports increased by 23.3% - 23.7% compared to the same period in July. In July 2025, Malaysian palm oil production was 1.8124 million tons, exports were 1.309 million tons, and the ending inventory was 2.1132 million tons [61][62]. 3.

For oils, the short - term, medium - term, and long - term indicators of soybean oil and palm oil are bullish, and the short - term indicators of rapeseed oil are entangled, with medium - term indicators bullish and long - term indicators entangled [112]. 2. Fundamental Analysis - Protein meals: Internationally, US soybeans may be affected by high - temperature weather, and the market is expected to be volatile and strong. Domestically, the soybean oil mill's startup rate remains high, and soybean meal inventory may decrease steadily. The market is expected to be volatile and strong, with the M2601 contract oscillating between 3000 - 3200. - Oils: Internationally, US soybean oil is volatile due to lack of positive news. Malaysian palm oil has pressure at around 4500. Domestically, oils are strong, but further upward movement requires external forces [113].
