Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - All three varieties (soybean meal, soybean oil, and palm oil) are expected to be "weakly volatile" in the short - term, medium - term, and intraday, according to the reference views [5][6][8]. 3. Summary by Variety Soybean Meal (M) - **Price Movement Outlook**: Intraday view is weakly volatile, medium - term view is volatile, and the reference view is weakly volatile [5]. - **Core Logic**: The change in Sino - US trade relations affects US soybean export prospects. The pattern of weak reality and strong expectation in the domestic market remains unchanged. Short - term soybean futures prices are highly repetitive at high levels. As market sentiment weakens again, both domestic and foreign soybean futures prices decline, increasing the short - term volatility of soybean meal futures prices. Import arrival rhythm, customs clearance inspection, oil refinery operation rhythm, and stocking demand also play roles [5][7]. Soybean Oil (Y) - **Price Movement Outlook**: Intraday view is weakly volatile, medium - term view is volatile, and the reference view is weakly volatile [6][8]. - **Core Logic**: The soybean oil market focuses on raw material soybean cost support, US biodiesel policy expectations, and the resolution of domestic inventory pressure. Affected by the weakening of raw material soybean prices, the cost support for soybean oil futures prices weakens. US biofuel policy, US soybean oil inventory, domestic soybean cost support, supply rhythm, and oil refinery inventory are also influencing factors [6][7][8]. Palm Oil (P) - **Price Movement Outlook**: Intraday view is weakly volatile, medium - term view is volatile, and the reference view is weakly volatile [7]. - **Core Logic**: International oil price fluctuations have a continuous spill - over effect on the palm oil market. As the most energy - related oil variety, palm oil futures prices are significantly affected. Although the positive trend of the palm oil industry chain remains unchanged, short - term capital outflows intensify price fluctuations. Factors such as biodiesel attributes, Malaysian palm oil production and exports, Indonesian exports, main - producing countries' tariff policies, domestic arrivals, inventory, and substitution demand also impact the price [7][8].

The long - term view on Dalian soybean meal is cautiously bullish [3] Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - The domestic soybean and palm oil markets continue to be weak. The medium - term overseas palm oil is in a production - reduction cycle. Long - term development trends of biodiesel in the US and Indonesia still exist. Consider buying on dips with a larger fluctuation space and risk control [4] Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - In the rapeseed sector, the meal is weak and the oil is strong. The domestic rapeseed sector is in a short - term shock - consolidation pattern, and the price center may decline [6] Corn - The auction of imported corn by Sinograin continues, with a low transaction rate. The good growth of US corn and the good weather in domestic corn - producing areas may lead to a bumper harvest. Dalian corn futures may continue to be weak at the bottom [7] Live Pigs - The spot and futures prices of live pigs are weak. The supply pressure is high in the second half of the year. Policy aims to promote capacity reduction, but the inflection point has not been seen. Pig prices are expected to remain weak in the medium term [8] Eggs - Egg futures continue to increase positions and reach new lows, while spot prices rise. There may be a seasonal rebound in spot prices. The probability of significant capacity reduction in the second half of the year is high, and it is advisable to consider buying futures contracts for the first half of next year on dips [9]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Palm oil: Bullish [1] - Soybean oil: Bullish [1] - Rapeseed oil: Bullish [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - Most enterprises are bullish on the fourth - quarter to first - quarter (next year) oil market, mainly due to supply - side factors. However, some enterprises are cautious about the bullish view, considering factors such as high domestic inventory, low consumption, and potential imports [4][16]. - The key factors to watch include downstream consumption recovery, the crushing situation after Australian rapeseed arrives, and the purchase of US soybeans [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Research Background and Purpose - The Sino - US and Sino - Canadian bilateral trade situations are uncertain. As of now, there is no news of China purchasing US soybeans, and the preliminary anti - dumping ruling on Canadian rapeseed has blocked its arrival from September to December. The supply of soy and rapeseed in the fourth quarter is not optimistic. The research aims to understand the current market situation, procurement, and import conditions [11]. 3.2. Research Summary Rapeseed oil - National rapeseed oil inventory is sufficient, with high pressure in inland areas like Sichuan and Chongqing. Most oil mills' rapeseed inventory is depleted, and some pressing lines are shut down. The de - stocking speed is slow, and the degree of de - stocking in the fourth quarter depends on consumption [14]. - Domestic rapeseed oil consumption is extremely poor, mainly for rigid demand. After the start of school and approaching festivals, consumption may improve [14]. Soybean oil - Spot - end soybean oil inventory is sufficient, and there will be a large amount of soybean arrivals in September and October. Some oil mills may shut down due to full - capacity of soybean meal. If no US soybeans are purchased this year, there may be a shortage from January to March next year. After the start of school, demand may improve [15]. 3.3. Market Outlook - Most enterprises are bullish on the oil market from the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year, as soybean and rapeseed oil will de - stock in the fourth quarter, and the shortage in the first quarter of next year is difficult to make up. However, some enterprises are cautious, considering factors such as imports of rapeseed oil and Australian rapeseed [16]. 3.4. Research Content August 19th Morning - Enterprise A - It is a trading enterprise mainly engaged in soybean and rapeseed oil trade.
