1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - The hype sentiment in the external market's previous trading of the oil and fat logic has weakened with the decline of crude oil. The US soybean is approaching the time - node to confirm the planting area, and after the announcement, the weather conditions in the production area should be continuously monitored. The real - world pressure in the domestic market will continue to suppress the upward space of the near - month spot and the futures market, while the supply gap and weather - related speculation logic for the far - month contracts still exist. Therefore, reverse spreads and bottom - fishing for far - month contracts are suitable [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Oil Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for soybean meal is 2800 - 3300, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 12.5% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 19.4%. The monthly price range forecast for rapeseed meal is 2450 - 2750, with a current volatility of 0.1857 and a 3 - year historical percentile of 0.3888 [3]. 3.2 Oil Hedging Strategy - **Trader Inventory Management**: When the protein inventory is high and there are concerns about the decline in meal prices, traders with long positions can short soybean meal futures (M2509) according to their inventory to lock in profits and make up for production costs, with a hedging ratio of 25% and an entry range of 3300 - 3400 [3]. - **Feed Mill Procurement Management**: When the regular procurement inventory is low and procurement is based on orders, feed mills with short positions can buy soybean meal futures (M2509) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 2850 - 3000 [3]. - **Oil Mill Inventory Management**: When there are concerns about excessive imported soybeans and low soybean meal selling prices, oil mills with long positions can short soybean meal futures (M2509) according to their own situation to lock in profits and make up for production costs, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 3100 - 3200 [3]. 3.3 Core Contradiction - The external market's previous oil - related trading logic has weakened, and the US soybean is at a key time for planting area confirmation. The domestic market has near - month pressure and far - month supply gap and weather speculation logic [4]. 3.4 Bullish Interpretation - No relevant content provided 3.5 Bearish Interpretation - Supply - side pressure is the main factor suppressing the spot market. As the soybean meal 07 contract approaches the delivery month, the spot pressure will be reflected in the near - month futures market through warehouse receipt registration, which is expected to lead to a weak performance of the soybean meal 09 contract. The supply of soybean raw materials is abundant, the oil mill operating rate is rising, and the crushing volume has increased month - on - month, with some areas urging提货 [6]. - In terms of arrivals, 11.5 million tons are expected in July and 9.5 million tons in August. The supply in the third quarter is still relatively abundant, and the supply gap in the fourth quarter depends on Sino - US relations [6]. - The inventory depletion of rapeseed meal is still slow, and the downstream has a low cost - performance ratio for adding rapeseed meal. The market's reaction to the news of the WTO establishing a panel to investigate Sino - Canadian tariff issues lacks elasticity, and the subsequent trend of rapeseed meal will mainly follow that of soybean meal, with its own market expected to be weak [6]. 3.6 Oil Futures Prices - **Soybean Meal Futures**: The closing price of soybean meal 01 is 2987, up 4 (0.13%); soybean meal 05 is 2707, down 3 (- 0.11%); soybean meal 09 is 2946, up 10 (0.34%) [7]. - **Rapeseed Meal Futures**: The closing price of rapeseed meal 01 is 2290, down 15 (- 0.65%); rapeseed meal 05 is 2321, down 9 (- 0.39%); rapeseed meal 09 is 2559, up 9 (0.35%) [10]. - **CBOT Yellow Soybean**: The closing price is 1016.25, unchanged (0%) [10]. - **Off - shore RMB**: The closing price is 7.1619, down 0.0128 (- 0.18%) [10]. 3.7 Spread between Soybean Meal and Rapeseed Meal - **Soybean Meal Spread**: The spread of M01 - 05 is 280, up 7; M05 - 09 is - 239, down 13; M09 - 01 is - 41, up 6 [11]. - **Rapeseed Meal Spread**: The spread of RM01 - 05 is - 31, down 6; RM05 - 09 is - 238, down 18; RM09 - 01 is 269, up 24 [11]. - **Spot and Basis**: The spot price of soybean meal in Rizhao is 2840, unchanged; the basis is - 106, down 10.

Core Views of the Report - The agricultural product market shows a complex situation. Some products face supply - demand imbalances, such as pigs with high inventory weights and increasing supply in the third quarter, and sugar with an expected increase in supply in the new season. Some products are affected by weather, trade policies, and other factors, like oils and fats being influenced by trade policies and overseas biodiesel policies, and rubber being affected by macro - sentiment and African tariff policies [2][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][13] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views - **Oils and Fats**: The US soybean planting is nearing completion, and the growth is good. The domestic soybean oil inventory is expected to rise.

Report Investment Ratings - Soybeans (including domestic and imported): ☆☆☆ [1] - Soybean Meal: ☆☆☆ [1] - Soybean Oil: ☆☆☆ [1] - Palm Oil: ☆☆☆ [1] - Rapeseed Meal: ★☆☆ [1] - Rapeseed Oil: ★☆☆ [1] - Corn: ☆☆☆ [1] - Live Pigs: ☆☆☆ [1] - Eggs: ★☆☆ [1] Core Views - The soy - related market is influenced by factors such as trade agreements, weather, and supply - demand balance. The price trend is complex and requires attention to weather changes from June to August [2][3][6]. - The domestic rapeseed market is supported by factors like the weather in Canadian rapeseed - producing areas, Sino - Canadian trade relations, and the peak consumption season of aquatic feed, with a short - term bullish outlook [4]. - The palm oil price is affected by factors such as market position reduction, weather in the US soybean - producing areas, and the production cycle, with a need to guard against the impact of US soybean weather speculation [6]. - The corn market is affected by factors such as the wheat purchase plan and trade agreements, showing a short - term volatile trend [7]. - The live pig market has short - term downward pressure on spot prices and medium - term support for far - end prices due to policy adjustments [8]. - The egg market is in a downward trend, with the current price not reaching the cyclical bottom, and attention should be paid to multiple influencing factors [9]. Summary by Categories Soybeans - Domestic soybean prices are affected by import prices and weather. The key months of 7 - 8 during the growth period face risks of high temperature and low precipitation, and weather is expected to be the main driver of price fluctuations [2]. - After the Sino - US London trade meeting, the soybean meal market is in a wide - range shock. The supply of domestic soybeans is relatively abundant, but the cost of importing Brazilian soybeans has increased, and the market should be treated as volatile, with attention to weather - driven price increases from June to August [3]. Rapeseed - The rapeseed market is affected by the short - term positive signals of Sino - US economic and trade consultations, the weather in Canadian rapeseed - producing areas, and Sino - Canadian trade relations. Coupled with the peak consumption season of aquatic feed, the domestic rapeseed futures price has short - term support, and the strategy is bullish [4]. Palm Oil and Soybean Oil - The palm oil price has stabilized. The European Meteorological Center's forecast shows that the US soybean - producing areas may face high temperature and low precipitation in 7 - 8. Palm oil is in the production - increasing period in the second and third quarters, and price fluctuations are expected, with a need to guard against the impact of US soybean weather speculation [6]. Corn - The launch of the wheat minimum purchase price plan in Henan has driven the bullish sentiment of corn. After the continuous rise of corn futures, the trend has eased. The future wheat - corn price difference may widen, and the corn futures may continue to fluctuate in the short term [7]. Live Pigs - The live pig futures rebounded, and the spot price was slightly adjusted. In the short term, there is downward pressure on the spot price due to the accelerated slaughter of group farms. In the medium term, policy adjustments will reduce the long - term supply pressure and support the far - end price [8]. Eggs - The egg futures continued to increase positions and hit new lows, and the spot price continued to decline in most areas. The current egg price has not reached the cyclical bottom, and attention should be paid to factors such as production capacity changes, chicken culling sentiment, and the rainy season [9].
