Summary of Key Points from Conference Call on Agricultural Products and Oilseeds Market Industry Overview - The focus is on the agricultural products sector, particularly oilseeds, in the context of inflation relief and potential investment opportunities in 2026-2027 [1][2]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Investment Opportunities**: The agricultural sector, especially in the planting chain (agricultural inputs, seeds, and planting), is expected to experience a dual boost in valuation and profitability in 2026-2027 due to its close relation to food security [2]. - **Livestock Chain**: Within the livestock sector, beef cattle are favored over pig farming, raw milk, and poultry, indicating a shift in investment focus [2]. - **Global Oilseed Production**: A decrease in global soybean and sunflower seed production is anticipated for 2026, while canola production is expected to increase. The U.S. is reducing soybean planting area, leading to tighter supplies of soybeans and sunflower seeds, while canola supply remains ample [1][5]. - **Oil Consumption Trends**: In 2026, industrial consumption of canola oil is expected to recover, while palm oil growth will slow down. Soymeal consumption is projected to increase the most, with palm oil maintaining a strong supply-demand balance [1][6]. Market Dynamics - **Oil Market Volatility**: The oilseed market has been volatile, influenced by U.S. crude oil prices and geopolitical factors. Palm oil is leading the market due to its high production and trade volume, particularly in biodiesel applications [3][5]. - **Palm Oil Production and Exports**: Malaysia's palm oil production in January was below expectations, but exports increased, leading to a stockpile of 3.05 million tons. The market did not react negatively due to prior pricing adjustments [4][8]. - **Geopolitical Impact**: The U.S.-Iran conflict has strengthened crude oil prices, positively affecting oilseed prices. The U.S. biodiesel policy has also contributed to the rebound in soybean oil prices [5][6]. Supply and Demand Analysis - **Global Supply Adjustments**: The global supply of soybeans and sunflower seeds is tightening, while canola supply is more relaxed. The overall consumption of palm oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil is expected to grow significantly in 2026 [5][6][7]. - **Price Trends**: As of late January, palm oil prices have risen significantly, with sunflower oil prices remaining strong at approximately $1,300 per ton. The price gap between Malaysian and Indonesian palm oil is around $44, indicating less supply pressure in Malaysia [9][10]. Regional Insights - **China's Import Dynamics**: China's soybean import demand is expected to meet current needs, but there is a projected shortfall in May. The first quarter saw lower import volumes, but the second quarter is expected to be historically high [11][12]. - **India's Oil Demand**: India's palm oil imports are recovering, with significant increases in January and February compared to December [10]. Additional Considerations - **Biodiesel Market**: The U.S. biodiesel processing margins have worsened, while the EU has seen improvements due to lower canola oil prices [15]. - **Domestic Demand Fluctuations**: In China, domestic oil demand has increased due to pre-holiday stocking, but consumption is expected to decline as the holiday approaches [16][22]. - **Market Correlations**: The relationship between oilseed products and crude oil prices is significant, influenced by production costs and macroeconomic factors [23]. Conclusion - The agricultural products and oilseeds market is poised for significant changes in the coming years, with investment opportunities emerging in specific sectors. The interplay of geopolitical factors, domestic demand, and global supply dynamics will be crucial in shaping market trends moving forward [24][25].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report 2.1 Meal Market - **Soybean Meal**: Supply is abundant, inventory is high year - on - year, and demand is weak due to poor breeding profits [6]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: Supply and demand are both weak, and it is significantly suppressed by soybean meal substitution. Attention should be paid to the supply increase expectation brought by the easing of China - Canada trade relations [3]. 2.2 Oil Market - **Soybean Oil**: Pre - holiday stocking supports inventory reduction, but the high inventory limits the rebound height [38]. - **Palm Oil**: The production reduction in producing areas provides strong support, but the domestic inventory is accumulating, showing a pattern of "strong overseas and weak domestic" [45]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: The bottoming - out inventory supports short - term prices, but the hype about the biodiesel theme has cooled down, and it faces import impact in the long term [52]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Rapeseed Meal - **Overall Tone**: Supply and demand are both weak, and it is significantly suppressed by soybean meal substitution. Pay attention to the supply increase expectation brought by the easing of China - Canada trade relations [3]. - **Supply Side**: Coastal oil mills' rapeseed inventory is at a low level, and there is a short - term shortage of spot supply. After the easing of China - Canada trade relations, the market expects a large amount of imported rapeseed to arrive at ports after the Spring Festival, with huge long - term supply pressure [3]. - **Demand Side**: It is in the traditional off - season of aquaculture, and the rigid demand is extremely weak. The narrowing of the soybean - rapeseed meal price difference makes rapeseed meal lose its cost - effectiveness advantage, and its demand is further squeezed [3]. - **Inventory**: The port granular meal inventory is at a moderately high level. Although the short - term inventory has slightly declined due to the decrease in the startup rate, the overall inventory reduction rhythm is not smooth, and the inventory pressure is mainly reflected in the long - term expectation [4]. 3.2 Soybean Meal - **Overall Tone**: Supply is abundant, inventory is high year - on - year, and demand is weak due to poor breeding profits [6]. - **Supply Side**: The import volume of soybeans is large, the port soybean inventory is abundant, and the oil mills' raw material supply is sufficient. The oil mills' startup rate remains at a medium - high level, and the current spot output is still abundant. The new - crop soybeans in Brazil are expected to have a good harvest, and the export pressure will be transmitted to the Chinese market [6]. - **Demand Side**: The downstream demand shows a "not - prosperous in the peak season" phenomenon. The low pig price has frustrated the enthusiasm for replenishing stocks, and feed enterprises and farmers are cautious about pre - holiday stocking [6]. - **Inventory**: It is at a historically high level. Although there has been a slight inventory reduction recently, the total inventory is still about 70% higher than that of last year, which significantly suppresses the price [6]. 3.3 Soybean Oil - **Overall Tone**: Pre - holiday stocking supports inventory reduction, but the high inventory limits the rebound height [38]. - **Supply Side**: The soybean oil output continues to increase due to the high - level soybean crushing volume, and the supply is very sufficient. The spot crushing profit is on the verge of loss but does not significantly affect the oil mills' startup rhythm [40][41]. - **Demand Side**: Driven by pre - holiday stocking demand, the提货 speed of small and medium - sized packaged oils and the catering sector has accelerated. The low or inverted soybean - palm oil price difference makes soybean oil more cost - effective, replacing some palm oil. The overseas biodiesel theme has also driven the price rebound to some extent [42]. - **Inventory**: The commercial inventory is about 95 - 96 tons, at a relatively high level in the same period of history. It is in the inventory reduction cycle, but the large inventory base still limits the price increase space [43][44]. 3.4 Palm Oil - **Overall Tone**: The production reduction in producing areas provides strong support, but the domestic inventory is accumulating, showing a pattern of "strong overseas and weak domestic" [45]. - **Supply Side**: Malaysia and Indonesia are in the seasonal production reduction cycle, and the production in January decreased significantly. The serious inversion of import profit has limited the enthusiasm for domestic ship purchases, resulting in fewer new ship purchases [46][47]. - **Demand Side**: The edible demand is compressed due to low - temperature blending requirements and the lack of price advantage compared with soybean oil. The postponement of Indonesia's B50 biodiesel plan has affected the demand expectation, but the implementation of B40 still provides a rigid bottom - line support [48][49]. - **Inventory**: The domestic commercial inventory is still slightly high. Although imports have decreased, the inventory has increased due to weak consumption, which restricts the domestic price from rising in line with the overseas market [50][51]. 3.5 Rapeseed Oil - **Overall Tone**: The bottoming - out inventory supports short - term prices, but the hype about the biodiesel theme has cooled down, and it faces import impact in the long term [52]. - **Supply Side**: Due to the shortage of rapeseed in some oil mills in late January, the spot output of rapeseed oil has decreased periodically. The market is highly concerned about the arrival rhythm of Australian rapeseed and the import expectation of rapeseed oil after the resumption of China - Canada trade, with a "tight in the near term and loose in the long term" supply characteristic [53][54]. - **Demand Side**: The main demand is the pre - Spring Festival small - package stocking demand, and the demand in traditional consumption areas such as Sichuan and Chongqing is acceptable. The US biodiesel policy and EU demand expectation bring some positive support, but the actual export increase is limited [55][56]. - **Inventory**: The rapeseed oil inventory in East China and coastal areas is at a moderately low level in the same period of history. It is in the continuous inventory reduction stage, and the marginal tightening of inventory is the main reason for the recent stronger price of rapeseed oil than other oils [57][58].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic soybean oil market in China is expected to see a price increase of over 3% year-on-year in 2025, driven by international soybean oil prices and related products. In 2026, the market is anticipated to maintain its strong performance due to uncertainties in international situations, increased supply and demand, cost support, and a bullish outlook for international oils [2][10]. Group 1: Price Trends and Influences - The domestic soybean oil market is heavily influenced by international soybean prices, particularly the CBOT soybean prices, which directly affect the cost of imported soybeans and subsequently the soybean oil market [2][10]. - The correlation coefficient between CBOT soybean oil prices and China's first-grade soybean oil prices is 0.80, indicating a strong positive correlation over the past five years [2][10]. - By the end of 2025, the average price of CBOT soybean oil is projected to be 49.27 cents per pound, an increase of 11.39% compared to the average price in 2024. The average price of domestic first-grade soybean oil is expected to be 8314 yuan per ton, up 3.23% from 2024 [11]. Group 2: Regional Price Disparities - The price of soybean oil in China shows a pattern of being higher in the south and lower in the north, influenced by regional supply and demand dynamics. For instance, soybean oil prices in the South China and Shandong regions have generally followed similar trends, with South China prices often exceeding those in Shandong by 100 to 400 yuan per ton [3][13]. - In 2025, the price gap between South China and Shandong is expected to narrow due to high palm oil prices leading to a significant inversion of the soybean-palm oil price difference, which has stimulated soybean oil consumption in South China [4][14]. Group 3: Future Outlook - For the 2025/2026 period, a slight decrease in global soybean production is expected, which will reduce the downward pressure on international soybean prices. The demand for soybeans is anticipated to grow due to deepening international trade cooperation and expanding biofuel needs, tightening the supply-demand balance [5][16]. - Domestic soybean crushing capacity is expected to continue expanding, with high levels of imported soybeans providing a solid raw material foundation for soybean oil production. However, actual production growth may be limited due to constraints on operating rates [17]. - The average price of first-grade soybean oil in China is projected to reach 8513 yuan per ton in 2026, reflecting an increase of 199 yuan per ton, or 2.39%, compared to the average price in 2025 [8][17].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, it gives individual outlooks for different agricultural products: - Oils and fats: Bullish with oscillations [8] - Protein meal: Sideways movement [11] - Corn/starch: Sideways movement [14] - Hogs: Bearish with oscillations [16] - Natural rubber: Sideways movement within a range [20] - Synthetic rubber: Bullish with oscillations after adjustment [22] - Cotton: Bullish with oscillations [23] - Sugar: Bearish with oscillations [24] - Pulp: Bearish with oscillations [25] - Offset paper: Bearish with oscillations [27] - Logs: Sideways movement [28] 2. Core Views of the Report - The report analyzes the supply, demand, and market trends of various agricultural products. It points out that the hog market is under pressure due to oversupply in the short - to - medium term but may improve in the second half of 2026. Oils and fats are supported by factors such as palm oil production decline and export increase. Protein meal is affected by overseas supply and domestic inventory. Corn and starch markets are in a tight balance. Other products also have their own supply - demand characteristics and market trends [16][8][11]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Oils and Fats - **View**: Bullish with oscillations. The overall trend of vegetable oils is bullish due to factors like the decline in Malaysian palm oil production and the increase in exports. The market is also affected by factors such as Trump's tariff remarks on canola and the expected bio - diesel policy in the US [8]. - **Logic**: In January 2026, Malaysian palm oil production decreased, while exports increased. The Canadian canola supply and demand situation has changed, and the US bio - diesel policy provides emotional support. The supply of soybeans and canola is relatively abundant, and palm oil is about to enter the production - reduction season with a de - stocking trend [8]. - **Outlook**: Bullish with oscillations. It is recommended to consider buying hedging after a pullback and a long - palm oil short - canola oil arbitrage strategy [9]. 3.2 Protein Meal - **View**: Sideways movement. The international soybean trade premium has increased, and the domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories are relatively high [11]. - **Logic**: Brazil's soybean harvest progress is normal, while Argentina may face potential production reduction risks. The US soybean supply is expected to increase, and the net long position of US soybean funds has decreased. In China, the inventory reduction of oil mills is slow, and the downstream pre - holiday stocking provides some support, but the increase in the oil mill operating rate suppresses the upward movement of the price [11]. - **Outlook**: Sideways movement. The soybean meal will continue to trade in a low - level range, and the canola meal is expected to move sideways [11]. 3.3 Corn/Starch - **View**: Sideways movement. The spot price is firm, and the futures price is adjusting [13]. - **Logic**: The supply in the upstream is slightly loose, but the overall situation is still tight. The selling pressure before the Spring Festival is not large, and the feed enterprises maintain a certain inventory. The deep - processing enterprises' inventory has increased, but the subsequent upward momentum is limited. The substitute grains and policy grains also affect the market [14]. - **Outlook**: Sideways movement. The market is in a state with a ceiling and a floor in the short term [14]. 3.4 Hogs - **View**: Bearish with oscillations. The upstream supply is sufficient, and the hog price continues to weaken [15]. - **Logic**: In the short term, the slaughter rhythm is slow at the beginning of the month and may accelerate at the end of the month. In the medium term, the supply will be in surplus until April 2026. In the long term, the sow capacity started to decline in the third quarter of 2025, and the supply pressure is expected to ease after May 2026. The demand is shrinking, and the inventory has increased [16]. - **Outlook**: Bearish with oscillations. There is a risk of concentrated inventory release before the Spring Festival, and the fundamentals will remain weak after the festival. It is recommended to consider short - selling hedging opportunities in the first half of the year. The hog cycle is expected to bottom out and recover in the second half of 2026 [16]. 3.5 Natural Rubber - **View**: Sideways movement within a range. The price is affected by factors such as raw material prices and downstream demand [19]. - **Logic**: The natural rubber price has been oscillating at a high level. The overseas supply is relatively abundant, and the demand from tire enterprises before the festival provides some support, but the inventory is increasing rapidly. The short - term fundamental driving force is insufficient, but the rubber is supported by the bullish trend of the chemical sector [20]. - **Outlook**: Sideways movement. It is recommended to adopt a long - position strategy on pullbacks in the medium term, and the short - term price may return to a wide - range oscillation [20]. 3.6 Synthetic Rubber - **View**: There is a need for adjustment. The price of butadiene rubber has increased rapidly and needs to be adjusted [21]. - **Logic**: The BR futures price has fallen after a sharp rise. The overall chemical sector has seen a large outflow of funds, but the medium - term core logic of tight butadiene supply in the first half of 2026 remains unchanged. The price of butadiene has continued to rise, and the market sentiment is bullish [22]. - **Outlook**: Bullish with oscillations after adjustment. The butadiene supply - demand pattern is expected to improve, but short - term adjustment is needed [22]. 3.7 Cotton - **View**: Bullish with oscillations. The price is adjusting, and attention should be paid to the lower support [23]. - **Logic**: The cotton inspection is nearing completion, the cotton import has increased, and the downstream pre - holiday stocking has increased. The cotton fundamentals are healthy, but there is a lack of new positive factors in the short term. In the medium and long term, the cotton supply may be in a tight - balance situation, and the price is expected to rise [23]. - **Outlook**: Bullish with oscillations. It is recommended to buy on pullbacks [23]. 3.8 Sugar - **View**: Bearish with oscillations. The sugar price is oscillating [24]. - **Logic**: The global raw sugar market is expected to have a surplus in the 2025/26 season, and the prices of domestic and international sugar have fallen to a relatively low level. The production in major producing countries is increasing, and the domestic supply is also increasing [24]. - **Outlook**: Bearish with oscillations. It is recommended to short on rebounds [24]. 3.9 Pulp - **View**: Bearish with oscillations. The broad - leaf pulp price is falling, and the pulp fundamentals are weak [25]. - **Logic**: The demand for pulp is decreasing due to the decline in downstream production. The broad - leaf pulp has weakened significantly, while the impact on coniferous pulp is relatively small. The import cost provides some support, but there are many negative factors such as seasonal demand decline and abundant inventory [25]. - **Outlook**: Bearish with oscillations. The pulp futures price is expected to move weakly in the short - term range [25]. 3.10 Offset Paper - **View**: Bearish with oscillations. The offset paper is trading in a range [27]. - **Logic**: The offset paper market is stable, but the supply pressure still exists. The downstream demand is weak, and the paper mills' price - increase efforts are difficult to pass on. The industry's operating rate is expected to decline, and the market trading volume is expected to decrease [27]. - **Outlook**: Bearish with oscillations. The spot price is expected to be stable before the Spring Festival, and the futures price will oscillate weakly in the range [27]. 3.11 Logs - **View**: Sideways movement. Attention should be paid to breaking through the upper pressure level [28]. - **Logic**: The log futures price has been oscillating around 770 - 780 yuan/cubic meter. The next pressure level is around 800 yuan/cubic meter. The negative factors in the market have been digested, and the spot price has increased, which may drive the market sentiment. The 03 contract can be traded in the range of 760 - 800 yuan/cubic meter [28]. - **Outlook**: Sideways movement. The market is expected to trade in a short - term range [28].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For vegetable oils, the US biodiesel policy boosts global vegetable oil prices. Palm oil and soybean oil stop falling and rebound, while rapeseed oil bottoms out and stabilizes. With the US interest - rate cut, the financial attributes of vegetable oils are enhanced, and it is advisable to adopt a long - term bullish strategy of buying on dips for soybean and palm oils, and hold short - term long positions for rapeseed oil, paying attention to its rebound strength [2]. - For double - meal (soybean meal and rapeseed meal), the near - month contracts should be treated with a rebound mindset, and the opportunity to lay out new short positions for the 09 contracts should be awaited after the rebound [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents Vegetable Oils Market Performance - On January 22, vegetable oils continued their strong trend with a large inflow of funds. Palm oil led the vegetable oil sector. The closing prices of major and secondary contracts of soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil all increased compared to the previous day, with corresponding increases in positions [1]. Important Information - On January 21, NYMEX crude oil futures rose due to supply concerns, with the more active March contract up $0.26 or 0.4% to $60.62 per barrel [1]. - The Trump administration is expected to finalize 2026 biofuel blending quotas in early March, and the EPA is considering setting biodiesel usage between 5.2 and 5.6 billion gallons [1]. - Indonesia cancelled the plan to increase the biodiesel blending ratio to 50% (B50) this year and will maintain the current 40% ratio [1]. - Indian buyers locked in large - scale soybean oil purchases from April to July 2026, 150,000 tons per month of South American soybean oil [1]. - From January 1 - 20, Malaysia's palm oil production decreased by 16.06% month - on - month, while exports increased by 11.4% [1]. - Indonesia's 2026 biodiesel total allocation is 15.65 billion liters, an increase of about 30 million liters from 2025 [1]. - As of the 3rd weekend of 2026, the total inventory of the three major edible oils in China decreased by 38,300 tons week - on - week, a 1.79% decrease [2]. Market Logic - Externally, the US biodiesel policy makes US soybean oil oscillate strongly. In Malaysia, good export data and concerns about supply boost palm oil prices. Domestically, soybean oil news is mixed, palm oil benefits from the US biodiesel policy and improved export data, and rapeseed oil follows related oils in a wide - range oscillation [2]. Trading Strategy - For single - side trading, continue to hold existing long positions in soybean and palm oils, and slightly enter long positions in rapeseed oil. Provide support and resistance levels for each contract [2]. - For arbitrage, exit the previously concerned strategy of expanding the soybean - palm oil price spread [2]. Double - Meal (Soybean Meal and Rapeseed Meal) Market Performance - On January 22, due to pre - festival stockpiling, soybean meal inventory decreased, and previous short positions left the market, resulting in a technical rebound. The closing prices of major and secondary contracts of soybean meal and rapeseed meal all increased compared to the previous day, with corresponding changes in positions [2]. Important Information - Since the Sino - US trade truce in late October, China has purchased about 12 million tons of US soybeans, fulfilling the commitment ahead of schedule [3]. - In January 2026, Brazil's soybean export volume is estimated to be 3.79 million tons, higher than the previous estimate and a 238% increase from the same period last year [3]. - StoneX predicts that Brazil's 2025/26 soybean production may reach 178.9 million tons, higher than the USDA's estimate [3]. - As of January 16, Brazil's 2025/26 soybean harvest progress was 1.39%, faster than the same period in previous years [3]. - As of December 30, Argentina's 2025/26 soybean sowing was 82% complete, and the growth status was good [3]. - Safras & Mercado predicts that Brazil's 2026 soybean export volume will be 105 million tons, a 3% decrease from last year [3]. - As of the 3rd weekend of 2026, China's imported soybean inventory decreased, and soybean meal and rapeseed meal inventories also changed [3]. - The January 13 import soybean auction had a 100% transaction rate [3]. Market Logic - Externally, slow South American soybean harvests strengthen US soybean futures prices. Domestically, oil - mill prices rise with the market, and downstream buyers are active in stockpiling. The impact of Sino - Canadian trade relations on rapeseed meal supply and demand is limited in the short term. With short - position funds leaving the market, Zhengzhou rapeseed meal rebounds, but the overall bullish sentiment is cautious [4]. Trading Strategy - Operate the 05 contracts of double - meal with a rebound mindset, and wait for the opportunity to lay out short positions for the 09 contracts after the rebound. Provide support and resistance levels for each contract [4]. - There is currently no arbitrage strategy [4].

1. Report Information - Report Date: January 23, 2026 [2] - Reported Industry: Oil and Fat [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - The domestic oil and fat futures market continued its relatively strong trend, with all three major oil and fat contracts rising. The expected EPA regulations on bio - diesel and the Indonesian plantation confiscation action, along with supply - demand factors, influenced the market. It's advisable to view the oil and fat futures with a bullish - in - oscillation mindset and consider the arbitrage strategy of going long on soybean oil and palm oil while shorting rapeseed oil [8] 3. Summary of Each Section 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Quotes**: In the East China market, the quotes for rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and the quotes of palm oil in Dongguan were provided, including the basis prices and different delivery months [7] - **Market Analysis**: The soybean oil futures were driven by the expected US bio - diesel policy. Palm oil prices were supported by concerns over supply tightening in Indonesia and Indian demand. Rapeseed oil followed the sector's rise with short - term tight supply and active far - month basis pre - sales. It's recommended to view the market with a bullish - in - oscillation mindset and consider the arbitrage strategy of long soybean oil and palm oil, short rapeseed oil [8] 3.2 Industry News - **Palm Oil Exports**: SGS data showed that Malaysia's palm oil exports from January 1 - 20 decreased by 2.7% compared to the same period in December, with a significant drop in exports to China. ITS data indicated a 11.4% increase in exports during the same period [9] - **Palm Oil Production**: From January 1 - 20, Malaysia's palm oil production decreased by 16.06% month - on - month, with a 16.49% drop in FFB yield and a 0.08% increase in OER [10] 3.3 Data Overview - **Price Forecast**: MPOC expected the crude palm oil price to fluctuate between 4,000 and 4,300 Malaysian ringgit per ton in February [15] - **Policy Expectation**: The market expected the EPA to soon issue final regulations on biofuels, which were expected to have a positive impact on the demand for biodiesel raw materials [15]

Core Viewpoints of the Report The report analyzes the market trends of multiple agricultural and related products, including their current situations, influencing factors, and future outlooks. Overall, the market is complex with various products showing different trends such as oscillation, upward, or downward movements. The report also provides some trading strategies and suggestions based on the analysis [1][5][8][11][13][17][19][21][22][24][25]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Oils and Fats - **Viewpoint**: Optimistic demand expectations boost the upward trend of oils and fats. US soybean oil futures rebounded significantly under the positive expectation of US biodiesel, palm oil entered the production - reduction stage with good export performance, and led the rise of oils and fats. The overall supply of oilseeds is relatively loose, and the palm oil inventory is expected to decrease during the production - reduction season. It is recommended to pay attention to buying hedging after a callback and the arbitrage strategy of going long on palm oil and short on rapeseed oil [5][6]. - **Outlook**: Soybean oil oscillates, palm oil oscillates strongly, and rapeseed oil oscillates weakly [6]. 3.2. Protein Meal - **Viewpoint**: Overnight US soybeans rose, driving both protein meals to close higher. Factors such as positive Sino - US talks, increased US soybean exports, and expected domestic demand support the price. However, it is necessary to be vigilant about the weakening of futures prices due to the repair of the discount under high profits [8]. - **Outlook**: US soybeans, Dalian soybean meal, and rapeseed meal all oscillate. Soybean meal is stronger than rapeseed meal [9]. 3.3. Corn/Starch - **Viewpoint**: The market is in a state of game between the policy ceiling and the demand floor, and the oscillation continues. The supply in the Northeast is in a tight - balance state, while the supply in North China has increased. The downstream feed enterprises maintain a stable inventory, and the deep - processing enterprises have a low inventory and need to stock up before the Spring Festival. The policy grain may suppress the price increase [11][12]. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [12]. 3.4. Pigs - **Viewpoint**: The supply of pigs is abundant, and the spot price continues to weaken. In the short term, the slaughter rhythm at the end of the month needs attention; in the medium term, the supply pressure will last until April 2026; in the long term, the supply pressure is expected to ease after May 2026 [13][14]. - **Outlook**: Oscillation weakly. It is recommended to pay attention to short - selling hedging opportunities in the first half of the year, and the pig cycle is expected to bottom out and pick up in the second half of 2026 [15]. 3.5. Natural Rubber - **Viewpoint**: The market price followed BR to rise slightly. The price increase is mainly driven by commodity funds, and the fundamental driving force is insufficient. The overseas supply is increasing seasonally, and the demand is weak after the price rise [17][18]. - **Outlook**: The fundamental variables are limited, and the medium - term strategy is to buy on dips. The short - term market may return to wide - range oscillation [18]. 3.6. Synthetic Rubber - **Viewpoint**: Multiple factors resonate, and the market price rises significantly. The core logic is the expectation of tight supply of butadiene in the first half of 2026, and the rotation of commodity funds to the chemical sector also has a positive impact [19][20]. - **Outlook**: The supply - demand pattern of butadiene is expected to improve, but there is short - term pressure. The medium - term trend is oscillating strongly [20]. 3.7. Cotton - **Viewpoint**: The cotton price rebounds with certain support near 14,400 yuan/ton. In the short term, the price is in an adjustment period due to the phased realization of positive factors, but in the long term, the price is expected to rise based on the tight supply - demand balance and policy factors [21]. - **Outlook**: Oscillation strongly. It is recommended to buy on dips [21]. 3.8. Sugar - **Viewpoint**: The sugar price rebounds slightly. The global sugar market in the 25/26 crushing season is expected to be in surplus, and the price is under pressure. The domestic supply is increasing, and the price is expected to oscillate weakly [21]. - **Outlook**: Oscillation weakly. It is recommended to short on rebounds [21]. 3.9. Pulp - **Viewpoint**: The spot market atmosphere is weak, and the demand pressure remains unchanged. The import cost is increasing, but the demand is in the off - season, and the futures market is under pressure [22]. - **Outlook**: Oscillation weakly [22][23]. 3.10. Double - Glue Paper - **Viewpoint**: The double - glue paper rose at the end of the session. The supply is relatively abundant, the demand is weak, and the price increase is difficult to pass on. The industry hedging enthusiasm at high prices suppresses the upward space [24]. - **Outlook**: Oscillation weakly [24]. 3.11. Logs - **Viewpoint**: The market rebounds from a low level due to the warming of the commodity market. The futures price rebounds after hitting the support level, and the spot price in Jiangsu is rising due to tight supply [24][25]. - **Outlook**: The market will operate in a short - term range. It is recommended to operate in the range of 760 - 800 yuan/cubic meter for the 03 contract [25].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2.

In the short - term, many products are expected to be in a state of shock, while in the long - term, the pig cycle is expected to gradually bottom out and recover in the second half of 2026[11]. - Overall, the supply of oilseeds (soybeans and rapeseeds) is relatively abundant, and the annual output of palm oil is high. Although it is about to enter the production - reduction season with a de - stocking trend, the overall situation of the oil market is complex[7]. - The protein meal market is affected by factors such as international soybean supply and domestic demand, and is expected to be in a state of shock[8]. - The corn market is in a state of tight balance, and the price is expected to be in a high - level shock in the short - term[9]. - The rubber market (both natural and synthetic) is expected to be in a state of shock, with different influencing factors[13][16]. - The cotton market is expected to be in a state of shock and gradually strengthen in the medium - to - long - term, while the sugar market is expected to be in a state of shock and weaken[17][18]. - The pulp and double - gum paper markets are expected to be in a state of shock and weaken, and the log market is expected to operate in a short - term range[19][22][23]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1.行情观点 3.1.1. 油脂 - **观点**: Export expectations drive the rebound of palm oil. The price of palm oil is strong, driving up the prices of soybean and rapeseed oils slightly. The supply of soybeans and rapeseeds is relatively abundant, and the future supply expectations of palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil are different[7]. - **Logic**: For palm oil, the market expects good export data in Malaysia from January 1 - 20, but the domestic spot inventory is increasing, and the pre - holiday stocking sentiment is insufficient. For soybean oil, the global soybean production and inventory are expected to increase, and the domestic market's acceptance of high prices is decreasing. For rapeseed oil, future supply expectations are turning loose, but the spot is still tight, and the near - end basis is relatively strong[7]. - **Outlook**: Soybean oil is expected to be in a state of shock, palm oil in a state of shock, and rapeseed oil in a state of shock and weaken[7]. 3.1.2. 蛋白粕 - **观点**: Terminal stocking and point - pricing drive the rebound of double - meal prices at low levels[8]. - **Logic**: Internationally, the sowing of Argentine soybeans is nearly finished, and the US soybean demand is supported. The supply of overseas soybeans is expected to increase. Domestically, the low prices of soybean meal and rapeseed meal attract downstream stocking, but the adjustment of tariffs on Canadian rapeseed has a slight negative impact[8]. - **Outlook**: US soybeans, Dalian soybean meal, and rapeseed meal are all expected to be in a state of shock. Rapeseed meal is expected to be weaker than soybean meal[8]. 3.1.3. 玉米及淀粉 - **观点**: Corn is in a state of range - bound shock[8]. - **Logic**: The current fundamentals are in a tight balance. The upstream is reluctant to sell, and the logistics is affected by snow. The downstream feed enterprises have sufficient inventory, and the deep - processing enterprises' pre - holiday stocking has a certain impact on prices. Policy grain auctions also affect the price[9]. - **Outlook**: Corn is expected to be in a state of shock[9]. 3.1.4. 生猪 - **观点**: Slaughterhouses' procurement slows down, and the spot and futures prices of live pigs decline[10]. - **Logic**: In the short - term, the early - January slaughter progress is slow, and secondary fattening has re - entered in some areas. In the medium - term, the supply surplus pressure will last until April 2026. In the long - term, the sow capacity began to decline in the third quarter of 2025, and the supply pressure is expected to ease after May 2026. The demand shows a slight weekly increase in slaughter volume, and there is a slight inventory accumulation[11]. - **Outlook**: In the short - term, the market is expected to be in a state of shock. The industry is advised to focus on short - selling hedging opportunities in the first half of the year. The pig cycle is expected to gradually bottom out and recover in the second half of 2026[11]. 3.1.5. 沪胶与20号胶 - **观点**: The natural rubber market is in a state of wide - range shock[12]. - **Logic**: Affected by the overall commodity adjustment trend, the rubber price is in a narrow - range shock, and the fundamentals have not changed much. It is mainly driven by macro factors. The overseas supply is increasing seasonally, and the raw material price is firm, but the downstream buying is weak after the price increase[13]. - **Outlook**: The natural rubber market is expected to be in a state of shock[13]. 3.1.6. 合成橡胶 - **观点**: The price is in a state of correction and adjustment, and the market is in a state of shock[16]. - **Logic**: After the previous price increase, there is no further upward momentum, but the downside space is limited. The mid - term bullish logic remains unchanged, mainly based on the expected improvement of butadiene fundamentals. The price of butadiene has been rising recently[16]. - **Outlook**: The butadiene supply - demand pattern is expected to improve, but there is still pressure in the short - term. It is expected to be in a state of shock and strengthen in the medium - term[16]. 3.1.7. 棉花 - **观点**: The price continues to adjust, and attention should be paid to the lower support[17]. - **Logic**: In the short - term, due to the exhaustion of short - term benefits and the decline in positions, the cotton price has stopped rising. The fundamentals are generally good, but the increase in cotton yarn imports is a marginal negative factor. In the medium - to - long - term, the cotton price is expected to rise based on the expected tight supply and the reduction of cotton - planting area in Xinjiang[17]. - **Outlook**: The cotton market is expected to be in a state of shock and strengthen[17]. 3.1.8. 白糖 - **观点**: The sugar price is under pressure and closes down[18]. - **Logic**: Globally, the sugar market is expected to have a supply surplus in the 25/26 season, and both domestic and international prices are under pressure. In the domestic market, the supply is increasing, and the sugar price is expected to be under pressure during the northern hemisphere's listing period[18]. - **Outlook**: The sugar market is expected to be in a state of shock and weaken[18]. 3.1.9. 纸浆 - **观点**: The price of broad - leaf pulp continues to weaken, and the fundamentals have more concerns[19]. - **Logic**: The fundamentals of pulp have not changed much, with both positive and negative factors. The positive factors include the increase in import costs and the relatively low price difference between needle and broad - leaf pulp. The negative factors include the seasonal decline in demand, abundant supply in the spot market, and the weakening of the broad - leaf pulp price[19]. - **Outlook**: The pulp market is expected to be in a state of shock and weaken[19]. 3.1.10. 双胶纸 - **观点**: There are no major contradictions, and the price is in a low - level shock[20]. - **Logic**: The market is in a low - level shock, with stable production by large - scale paper enterprises and rational stocking by dealers. The demand is weak, and the price increase is difficult to pass on to the downstream[22]. - **Outlook**: The double - gum paper market is expected to be in a state of shock and weaken[22]. 3.1.11. 原木 - **观点**: The price of the log futures contract continues to decline, and the valuation has entered a deep - water area[23]. - **Logic**: The log futures contract has declined with increasing positions, and the short - term is dominated by bears. The valuation has entered a low - value area, and the downward space is relatively limited. The fundamentals have not changed significantly, and the delivery situation has changed. The spot price in the Jiangsu market is rising due to tight supply[23]. - **Outlook**: The log market is expected to operate in a short - term range[23]. 3.2. 品种数据监测 No specific data analysis or summary content is provided in the given text. 3.3. 中信期货商品指数 - On January 20, 2026, the comprehensive index of commodities was 2414.16, a decrease of 0.15%; the commodity 20 index was 2773.48, a decrease of 0.23%; the industrial products index was 2308.47, a decrease of 0.34%[184]. - The agricultural product index on January 20, 2026, was 934.25, with a daily decline of 0.02%, a decline of 1.15% in the past 5 days, an increase of 2.39% in the past month, and an increase of 0.13% since the beginning of the year[186].

It analyzes the market trends, supply and demand, and policy factors of each product and provides corresponding investment strategies [1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9]. Summary by Product Soybean - Policy - end auction sales show high premiums and high transaction rates, guiding prices. The spot market features high - quality products at high prices, with tight supply at the grass - roots level. Price increases suppress demand. Short - term focus on policy and spot market [2]. Soybean & Soybean Meal - South American weather is improving, with a 75% probability of La Nina turning ENSO neutral in Q1. South American high - yield expectations are back. US soybean exports are strengthening, with 2.06 million tons of net sales in the week ending January 8, up 54% from the four - week average. China's major oil mills are expected to crush about 8 million tons of soybeans in January. Monitor US soybean exports and South American weather [3]. Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - US biofuel policy is more certain, with expected increased demand in the 26/27 market year. US soybean and soybean oil prices are expected to be volatile and bullish. Palm oil in Malaysia faces short - term high - inventory pressure. Long - term supply constraints need careful observation. Overall, a range - bound view for soybean and palm oil [4]. Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - China - Canada trade arrangements may lead to a reduction in tariffs on Canadian rapeseed. Under 15% import tariffs, Canadian rapeseed has good profit margins. If the import policy improves, it may drive purchases. A short - term bearish view on rapeseed products [6]. Corn - Snow in the Northeast boosts bullish sentiment, with difficult grain transportation. Spot prices in the Northeast and North Port are strong. Mid - and downstream inventories are low. After New Year's Day, state and local reserve auctions increase, creating pressure. Dalian corn futures are expected to be volatile and bearish in the short term [7]. Live Pigs - On Monday, the sentiment of live pig futures changed. Weekend price increases due to snow and second - round fattening were reversed by short - selling. In 2025, pig slaughter and pork production increased year - on - year. The sow inventory decreased, and pig prices are expected to hit a low in H1 2026 [8]. Eggs - After New Year's Day, egg spot prices strengthened due to reduced supply and pre - Spring Festival stocking. The futures market followed the spot market. On Monday, the futures fell, possibly indicating the end of the pre - holiday rally. In the long - term, the in - production hen inventory is expected to decline, and a buy - on - dips strategy is recommended [9].

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview: Soybean and Plant Oil Market Soybean Industry Insights - Global soybean yield has potential for growth, with Brazil's planting area reaching a historical high. The main drivers of demand are crushing needs from China, the US, and Brazil, while Argentina's demand is declining. China's imports are increasing, Brazil's exports are rising, and US exports are decreasing. The high yield and low-cost competitive landscape in South America will continue to suppress global soybean prices, which are expected to remain in a low range [1][2][23] - In Q1 2026, South America may experience La Niña effects, leading to a higher probability of reduced production in Argentina, but Brazil's increased production may provide a buffer. The US is transitioning between neutral and El Niño phases, with varying impacts on soybean yields [3] - The cost of US soybeans is higher than that of Brazil, with 2026 costs expected to fluctuate between 1,076 and 1,171 cents per bushel, while Brazil's median cost is around 842 cents per bushel, giving it a competitive advantage [4] Plant Oil Market Dynamics - The global vegetable oil market is experiencing a tight supply-demand balance, with total production increasing but demand growing faster, leading to stable or slightly reduced ending stocks year-on-year. The supply-demand structure for soybean oil is particularly tight, while sunflower oil is in a more strained position [5][6] - Malaysia's palm oil production is expected to improve due to favorable factors such as increased fertilizer imports and labor availability, with palm oil production in 2026 anticipated to exceed expectations [8] - Indonesia's palm oil planting area continues to expand, with government actions to increase state-owned plantation ratios and improve market pricing power. The introduction of pollination technology aims to address aging tree issues [11][13] Future Trends and Risks - The global biodiesel demand is expected to shift focus to the US in 2026, with significant growth anticipated, while Indonesia's growth rate is slowing. The US EPA's proposal to adjust renewable diesel fuel equivalency values may marginally increase biodiesel demand [16][17] - The soybean market is expected to remain under pressure due to high production and low costs in South America, with prices likely to fluctuate at lower levels. The potential for a rebound will depend on weather and macroeconomic factors [23][24] - The palm oil market outlook indicates cautious optimism, with Indonesia's government policies potentially stabilizing demand, but risks remain regarding supply chain disruptions and aging tree issues in Malaysia [25][26] China and Global Trade Implications - China's soybean imports are projected to increase significantly in the 2025/26 period, while India's total vegetable oil imports are expected to decline. The dynamics between China and India regarding vegetable oil trade will be crucial to monitor [15][28] - The relationship between China and Canada regarding canola trade is uncertain, with potential for increased imports if trade tensions ease. The ongoing geopolitical landscape will influence trade flows and pricing [40][41] Conclusion - The soybean and plant oil markets are characterized by a complex interplay of supply, demand, and geopolitical factors. The competitive landscape is shifting, with South America maintaining a strong position due to low costs and high yields. Future price movements will be influenced by weather conditions, trade policies, and domestic demand trends in key markets like China and India.
