Group 1 - The U.S. Department of Commerce announced a one-year suspension of the export control penetration rules, which will not impose additional export control sanctions on companies with over 50% ownership by entities listed on the U.S. export control "entity list" during this period [2] - This suspension is seen as an important measure to implement the consensus reached during the China-U.S. Kuala Lumpur economic and trade consultations [2] - Both sides are committed to enhancing dialogue and cooperation to manage differences and promote mutual benefits in business collaboration [2] Group 2 - The outcomes of the China-U.S. Kuala Lumpur economic and trade consultations include the cancellation of the 10% "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods and the continuation of a one-year suspension of the 24% reciprocal tariffs on Chinese products [3] - The U.S. will also suspend the implementation of its 50% export control penetration rules for one year, while China will pause its related export control measures for the same duration [3] - Both parties agreed to extend certain tariff exclusion measures and confirmed cooperation on issues such as fentanyl control, agricultural trade expansion, and specific enterprise case handling [3]

Industry Investment Ratings - Soybean (bean No. 1): ★☆☆, indicating a slightly bullish trend with limited trading opportunities on the market [1] - Soybean oil: ★★★, suggesting a clear bullish trend and relatively appropriate investment opportunities [1] - Palm oil: ★☆☆, showing a slightly bearish trend with limited trading opportunities on the market [1] - Soybean meal: ★☆☆, meaning a slightly bullish trend with limited trading opportunities on the market [1] - Rapeseed oil: ★☆☆, indicating a slightly bullish trend with limited trading opportunities on the market [1] - Rapeseed meal: ★☆☆, showing a slightly bullish trend with limited trading opportunities on the market [1] - Corn: ★☆☆, suggesting a slightly bullish trend with limited trading opportunities on the market [1] - Live pigs: ★★★, indicating a clear bullish trend and relatively appropriate investment opportunities [1] - Eggs: ★★★, suggesting a clear bullish trend and relatively appropriate investment opportunities [1] Core Views - The prices of various agricultural products show different trends, affected by factors such as policies, trade negotiations, supply - demand relationships, and seasonal factors. Investors should pay attention to relevant information and changes in the market to find potential investment opportunities and avoid risks [2][3][4] Summary by Category Soybean (bean No. 1) - The price of soybean No. 1 shows high - level fluctuations. The resumption of soybean auction by CGSCO has cooled market sentiment. The purchase of high - protein soybeans has price advantages. The warehouse receipts of domestic soybeans are increasing, and the price difference between domestic and imported soybeans is consolidating. Short - term attention should be paid to policies and market sentiment [2] Soybean & Soybean Meal - The main contract of soybean meal futures M2601 fluctuates strongly. After the Sino - US trade negotiation eases, the price of US soybeans is in a wide - range shock. The domestic soybean crushing volume in October was about 8.6 million tons, and it is expected to be about 8.7 million tons in November. The soybean meal inventory has rebounded slightly. The import cost has increased, and the crushing profit has been repaired. It is expected that the soybean supply will be basically sufficient in the fourth quarter, and there may be inventory reduction in the first quarter of next year. Pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips [3] Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - The ratio of soybean oil to soybean meal rebounds from a low level. The domestic soybean crushing volume decreased last week, and the soybean oil inventory decreased. The crushing profit of near - month shipment of soybeans is not good. Soybean oil is stronger than palm oil, and the domestic palm oil inventory has increased slightly. The MPOB report in November is bearish. The high - frequency data in early November shows that the palm oil production in Malaysia increased from November 1 - 5, and the export demand declined from November 1 - 10. Short - term attention should be paid to the high - inventory pressure of palm oil [4] Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - The positions and trading volumes of domestic rapeseed futures' main contracts have decreased. It is a pattern of strong oil and weak meal today. The price increase of rapeseed meal is mainly due to the increase in overseas oilseed prices and the improvement of import expectations. The demand for rapeseed meal is expected to be poor. The inventories of rapeseed meal and granulated powder are slowly decreasing, and the rapeseed oil inventory has declined more than expected. The short - term strategy for domestic rapeseed products is to wait and see [6] Corn - The Dalian corn futures continue to fluctuate strongly at the bottom. The new corn in the Northeast has a small increase in volume, and the price is slightly stronger. The on - site volume of Shandong has decreased, and the spot price is strong. The import of US corn still has no price advantage. The new corn in the Northeast will continue to be listed, and the 01 contract of Dalian corn futures may continue to be weak at the bottom [7] Live Pigs - The spot price of live pigs is consolidating. The futures price has rebounded after reaching the bottom. The technical chart shows that the downward momentum is insufficient. The overall slaughter rhythm may slow down, and the seasonal demand is increasing. The pig price may enter a seasonal rebound stage. In the long - term, the pig price may form a second bottom in the first half of next year [8] Eggs - The near - month contracts of egg futures led the rise before, but the spot sentiment weakened over the weekend, and the near - month contracts led the decline on Monday. The follow - up trading idea can be to try shorting on rallies. The industry's production capacity is still at a high level, and the sentiment of culling is increasing marginally. Attention should be paid to the performance of egg spot and vegetable prices [9]

Report Overview - Report Date: November 10, 2025 [2] - Reported Industry: Soybean Meal [1] - Research Team: Agricultural Products Research Team [4] - Researchers: Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, Liu Youran [4] 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating provided in the report 2. Core View - After the Sino - US agreement, domestic soybean meal has returned to the CBOT soybean cost - pricing model, and the price transmission chain between China and the US has been re - established. Due to cost increases and low crushing profits, the support at the bottom of soybean meal is relatively strong. In the context of strong policy uncertainty, treat soybean meal with short - term cautious optimism. The risk lies in the collapse of the cost increase expectation caused by China's small - scale purchase of US soybeans later [6] 3. Summary by Section 3.1 Market Review and Trading Suggestions - **Market Data**: For the soybean meal 2601 contract, the previous settlement price was 3070, the opening price was 3065, the highest price was 3070, the lowest price was 3034, the closing price was 3058, down 12 or - 0.39%, with a trading volume of 951,916 and an open interest of 1,577,123, an increase of 8,927. Similar data is provided for the 2603 and 2605 contracts [6] - **International Market**: The US soybean futures contract on the external market declined, with the main contract at 1110 cents. After the Sino - US agreement in late October, the US expected China to purchase 12 million tons of US soybeans by January next year and 25 million tons per year for the next three years. However, with a 13% tariff on US soybean imports, it is more cost - effective for Chinese oil mills to import Brazilian soybeans, and it is difficult to achieve the purchase targets. The US government shutdown makes it impossible to verify China's purchase situation, and uncertainties are high [6] 3.2 Industry News - The US Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will release several major agricultural reports in November, including the monthly supply - demand report. The reports were not released in October due to the government shutdown. The crop production report and the global agricultural supply - demand forecast report, originally scheduled for November 10, will be released on November 14 [7] - The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange reported that Argentine farmers started sowing soybeans for the 2025/26 season. Most farmland soil moisture is in the "optimal" state.
