Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The prices of edible oils are expected to fluctuate and consolidate.

The domestic edible oil fundamentals are neutral, and the import inventory is stable [2][3][4] - The current main logic revolves around the relatively loose global edible oil fundamentals. The main bullish factor is that the US soybean stock-to-use ratio remains around 4%, indicating tight supply.

The report is neutral, with less-than-expected production cuts. Currently, shipping survey agencies show that the export data of Malaysian palm oil this month has increased by 4% month-on-month.

Currently, the export data of Malaysian palm oil has increased by 4% month-on-month. Subsequent entry into the production increase season will increase the supply of palm oil [3] - **Basis**: The spot price of palm oil is 8,870, with a basis of 28, indicating that the spot price is at a discount to the futures price [3] - **Inventory**: On September 22, the port inventory of palm oil was 580,000 tons, up 10,000 tons from the previous period and 34.1% lower year-on-year [3] - **Market**: The futures price is running below the 20-day moving average, and the 20-day moving average is downward [3] - **Main Position**: The long positions of the main palm oil contract have increased [3] - **Expectation**: The palm oil contract P2601 is expected to fluctuate in the range of 8,600 - 9,000 [3] Daily View - Rapeseed Oil - **Fundamentals**: The same MPOB report situation as above.
