1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views - Soybean oil 2509 contract may fluctuate within a range in the short - term [1] - Soybean meal may oscillate with a slight upward trend in the short - term [1] - Corn futures prices may oscillate weakly in the short - term, and mid - term investors should watch for band - buying opportunities [1][2] - Copper prices have not completely shaken off the influence of moving averages, with the upper limit of the moving average system as the overall defense line [3] - The lithium carbonate 2507 contract may oscillate weakly, and investors can short at high prices [5][6] - For black commodities, negative feedback is gradually reflected in the market, and investors can take a long position at low levels [7] - Coking coal and coke may oscillate weakly at low levels due to ample supply [8] - Iron ore 2509 may oscillate in the short - term, and traders are advised to be cautious [9] - WTI crude oil may oscillate between $55 and $65 per barrel [10] - Rubber may oscillate, with an overall supply exceeding demand [11][12] - PVC futures prices may oscillate at low levels due to weak fundamentals [13][14] - Soda ash futures may continue to oscillate widely in the short - term [15] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Soybean Oil - **Spot Market**: The price of first - grade soybean oil in Zhangjiagang Yijiang is 8310 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day [1] - **International Soybeans**: In the current time frame, it is the season for US soybean sowing and growth and South American soybean harvesting and export. Brazil's soybean harvest is almost complete, and the new South American soybean crop is likely to be a bumper harvest. The USDA May 2025 report shows that the estimated soybean yield per acre in the 2025/26 season is 52.5 bushels, compared to 50.7 bushels in the 2024/25 season [1] - **Domestic Industry**: The medium - term de - stocking cycle of soybean oil may be ending. After the arrival of imported South American soybeans and customs clearance, soybean oil inventory may rebound from a low level [1] 3.2 Soybean Meal - **Spot Information**: The spot prices of 43% soybean meal in Zhangjiagang, Tianjin, and Dongguan are 2830 yuan/ton (- 20), 2930 yuan/ton (- 10), and 2890 yuan/ton (+ 20) respectively [1] - **Market Analysis**: Macroscopically, China and the US have reached a phased trade agreement, but long - term contradictions remain. Internationally, US soybean prices have risen due to weather speculation caused by rainfall in the producing areas. Domestically, soybean supply is gradually recovering, oil mill operating rates are increasing, and the supply of soybean meal is expected to shift from tight to loose. As downstream enterprises build safety stocks, they will switch to a just - in - time procurement and rolling replenishment model. Oil mill soybean inventories have risen to a high level, and the speed of soybean meal inventory accumulation is slow in the short term [1] 3.3 Corn - **Spot Information**: The average purchase price of new corn in key deep - processing enterprises in the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia is 2195 yuan/ton; in key enterprises in North China and the Huanghuai region, it is 2414 yuan/ton. The purchase prices in Jinzhou Port (15% moisture/content 680 - 720) and Bayuquan (content 680 - 730/15% moisture) are 2260 - 2270 yuan/ton [1] - **Market Analysis**: Externally, the China - US joint statement on tariff reduction has led to expectations of looser long - term corn imports, which affects short - term prices emotionally but has limited negative impact on domestic futures prices. The May USDA report has raised US corn production and ending stocks, which is negative for US corn futures. Domestically, as the weather warms and the planting season approaches, the remaining grain in the producing areas has basically been sold. The north - south ports have started the de - stocking process, reducing short - term supply pressure. Downstream demand is weak, with cautious purchasing by downstream enterprises, low breeding profits leading to on - demand procurement by breeding enterprises, and low operating rates of corn deep - processing enterprises due to losses. Under the influence of the easing of China - US relations and the news of policy grain release, futures prices have declined periodically [1][2] 3.4 Copper - **Spot Information**: The price of Shanghai 1 electrolytic copper is 78290 - 78630 yuan/ton, up 230 yuan/ton, with a premium of 200 - 350 yuan/ton. The imported copper ore index is - 43.05, up 0.06 [3] - **Market Analysis**: Globally, the gradual easing of tariff confrontations is conducive to a positive outlook for the commodity market, in line with the international background and the possible end of the interest - rate cut cycle in 2025. Domestically, continuous policy support from the central bank, the CSRC, and the finance department has boosted market sentiment. However, raw material shocks are intensifying, and the mining problem has not been completely resolved. With the rapid decline of domestic copper inventories, the game between reality and expectation, as well as between the domestic and foreign markets, has intensified, complicating market analysis [3] 3.5 Lithium Carbonate - **Spot Information**: The market price of battery - grade lithium carbonate (99.5%) is 63000 yuan/ton (- 300), and that of industrial - grade lithium carbonate (99.2%) is 60850 yuan/ton (- 450). The price difference between battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 2150 yuan/ton (+ 100) [4] - **Market Analysis**: Fundamentally, the prices of various ores in the cost side have dropped significantly. Although the production cost of lithium carbonate has decreased, the profit margin has not expanded due to the rapid decline in lithium salt prices. In terms of supply, the weekly operating rate of the lithium carbonate industry has slightly decreased, but the overall output remains high. As the temperature rises, the production capacity of salt - lake lithium extraction will further increase, and the supply of low - cost lithium salt will increase, potentially suppressing market prices. In terms of demand, the production of cathode materials is stable, and the power battery market is growing steadily. The terminal consumer market has potential due to the launch of new technology models and policy incentives, but it is not strong enough to drive prices up. In terms of inventory, the weekly inventory has continued to accumulate. As of May 16, the weekly inventory is 131920 (+ 351) physical tons, including 56522 (+ 1670) physical tons in smelters, 41428 (- 728) physical tons in downstream enterprises, and 33970 (- 591) physical tons in other sectors. The monthly inventory in April is 96202 physical tons, a year - on - year increase of 51% and a month - on - month increase of 7%, with downstream inventory at 45169 (+ 5876) physical tons and smelter inventory at 51033 (+ 256) physical tons. Overall, due to the weakening cost support and macro - disturbances, both spot and futures prices have declined, and the subsequent focus is on the 60,000 yuan/ton integer support level [5] 3.6 Steel - **Spot Information**: The price of Shanghai rebar is 3170 yuan/ton, the operating rate in Tangshan is 83.56%, the social inventory of rebar is 532.76 million tons, and the inventory in rebar steel mills is 200.4 million tons [7] - **Market Analysis**: The fundamentals of the steel industry are gradually improving, with a weaker near - term and stronger long - term outlook, and the contango structure has weakened. The current valuation of steel is moderately low. In terms of cost and inventory, policy support for the real estate industry is helping it to stabilize. The apparent demand for steel has decreased year - on - year, and raw material prices have oscillated weakly this week. The cost center of steel is dynamically changing. Both social and steel mill inventories of steel are decreasing, and the overall inventory level is low. In the short term, macro - policy expectations dominate the market, and the fundamentals are also improving, showing a situation of strong supply and demand. Attention should be paid to the switching rhythm between macro - policy expectations and fundamental data [7] 3.7 Coking Coal and Coke - **Spot Information**: The price of main coking coal (clean coal, Mongolia 5) is 1205 yuan/ton; the price of metallurgical coke (quasi - first - grade) at Rizhao Port is 1340 yuan/ton; the inventory of imported coking coal at ports is 337.38 million tons; and the inventory of coke at ports is 246.10 million tons [8] - **Market Analysis**: In terms of supply, domestic production capacity is steadily recovering, and the capacity utilization rate of coking plants is stable. Although there are some disturbances in Mongolian coal imports, the overall volume remains high. In terms of demand, steel mills are reducing production, and there is an expectation of a decline in hot metal production, resulting in weak overall demand. In terms of inventory, independent coking enterprises maintain a low - inventory strategy for raw materials, and the overall inventory is slightly increasing. In terms of profit, the average profit per ton of coke is stable and approaching the break - even point [8] 3.8 Iron Ore - **Spot Information**: The Platts iron ore index is 100.1, the price of Qingdao PB (61.5%) powder is 763 yuan/ton, and the price of Australian iron ore powder (62% Fe) is 765 yuan/ton [9] - **Market Analysis**: The iron ore market is currently influenced by both positive and negative factors. On the supply side, Australian shipments have decreased after the end of the quarterly rush, while Brazilian shipments have continued to increase, and the global total shipments have slightly decreased. The port inventory has decreased by 112.39 million tons to 1.48 billion tons, indicating a short - term reduction in arrival pressure. On the demand side, the domestic steel mill's hot metal production has increased to 240.22 million tons per day, and the resumption of blast furnaces has led to a 2.46 - million - ton increase in the daily consumption of imported ore. However, steel mills are still cautious in raw material procurement and mainly replenish inventory as needed. Overseas demand is divided, with increased production in Indian steel mills supporting some demand, but the substitution effect of Southeast Asian electric arc furnaces is strengthening, reducing the dependence on iron ore. In addition, the repeated adjustment of US tariff policies has intensified the volatility of global commodity prices, and market concerns about the trade war have limited the upward space for iron ore prices [9] 3.9 Crude Oil - **Market Analysis**: The resurgence of波折 in the US - Iran negotiations has reduced the expectation of increased supply, supporting oil prices. However, the downgrade of the US sovereign credit rating by institutions has led to continued oscillation in crude oil prices. In the medium - to - long - term, the upside of oil prices is restricted. In terms of supply and demand, OPEC+ will increase production by 411,000 barrels per day in June, and the market expects an oversupply. In the long - term, the price center of crude oil will shift downward, but the WTI main contract has technical support at $55 per barrel and may oscillate around this level. OPEC has significantly lowered the global demand growth rate for the next two years. The escalation of the US trade war and the unpredictable policies of the Trump administration have raised concerns about global demand. The repeated delays in the Russia - Ukraine peace talks and the resurgence of波折 in the US - Iran negotiations have increased uncertainty [10] 3.10 Rubber - **Market Analysis**: Attention should be paid to overseas orders and domestic demand. The limited improvement in the fundamentals and the repeated situation after the positive news of the easing of the China - US trade war have restricted the rebound of rubber prices, which are mainly in a weak oscillation. Fundamentally, the tapping of domestic whole - latex has started, with 70% of the areas in Yunnan tapped and the supply of glue in Hainan increasing. In Southeast Asian producing areas, the tapping in northeastern Thailand has started, and the southern part will start tapping after May, resulting in an overall loose supply. Currently, the global supply and demand of rubber are both loose. Market speculation about the trade war and other macro - narratives, as well as the possible US automobile tariff, may seriously suppress global rubber demand, and rubber prices are generally weak. Attention should be paid to factors such as domestic rubber imports and inventory changes [11][12] 3.11 PVC - **Spot Information**: The mainstream price of East China 5 - type PVC is 4830 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous period; the mainstream price of ethylene - based PVC is 5000 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan/ton; the price difference between ethylene - based and calcium - carbide - based PVC is 170 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton [13] - **Market Analysis**: In terms of supply, the operating rate of PVC production enterprises last week was 77.70%, a week - on - week decrease of 2.64% and a year - on - year decrease of 0.85%. Among them, the operating rate of calcium - carbide - based PVC was 77.69%, a week - on - week decrease of 3.64% and a year - on - year increase of 0.18%, and the operating rate of ethylene - based PVC was 77.73%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.02% and a year - on - year decrease of 3.87%. In terms of demand, there has been no significant improvement in domestic downstream product enterprises, and transactions are mainly based on rigid demand. In terms of inventory, as of May 15, the PVC social inventory (47 samples) decreased by 3.07% week - on - week to 64.15 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 26.96%. Among them, the inventory in East China was 58.39 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 4.11% and a year - on - year decrease of 26.84%, and the inventory in South China was 5.77 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 8.86% and a year - on - year decrease of 28.09%. On May 21, the futures price rebounded. Previously, affected by macro - sentiment, the PVC futures price rebounded significantly, but there has been no obvious improvement in the fundamentals, and the upward space may be limited, with the futures price oscillating at a low level [13] 3.12 Soda Ash - **Spot Information**: The national mainstream price of heavy soda ash is 1421.25 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous period. The mainstream prices in East China, North China, and Central China are 1450 yuan/ton, 1500 yuan/ton, and 1400 yuan/ton respectively, all unchanged from the previous period [15] - **Market Analysis**: In terms of supply, the overall operating rate of soda ash last week was 80.27%, a week - on - week decrease of 7.47%. The soda ash production was 67.77 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 6.31 million tons, a decline of 8.52%. The scheduled maintenance has led to a decrease in supply. In terms of inventory, the manufacturer's inventory last week was 171.20 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 1.07 million tons, a decline of 0.63%, and the enterprise inventory has not fluctuated much. It is understood that the social inventory is on a downward trend, with a decline of more than 1 million tons and a total of more than 36 million tons. The demand is average, and downstream enterprises replenish inventory for low - priced goods on a rigid - demand basis but still resist high - priced goods. Overall, due to the combination of plant maintenance and the realization of new production capacity, the futures market is expected to continue to oscillate widely in the short term. Attention should be paid to plant maintenance dynamics and unexpected events [15]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The report indicates that the meal market showed a rebound today. After the rapid increase in the spot market trading volume of soybean meal yesterday, the short - position reduction on the futures market was significant, and the price has stabilized to some extent. However, the supply - side pressure still exists, and it is expected that the unilateral upward trend will face difficulties. Rapeseed meal also lacks obvious positive drivers, and its price difference is expected to fluctuate. [4][8] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - Today, the US soybean futures rebounded with no obvious market drivers. The soybean meal futures strengthened, with significant short - position reduction after good spot trading yesterday. Rapeseed meal also strengthened following soybean meal, with limited changes in its fundamentals. [4] - The monthly price differences of soybean meal and rapeseed meal showed a phased rebound. The soybean meal's monthly price difference stabilized, while the rapeseed meal's was mainly affected by the unilateral price increase and showed wide - range fluctuations. [4] 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - **US Market**: The near - end support of the US soybean market is obvious. The old - crop exports decreased recently, but the April soybean crushing volume had a significant year - on - year increase. The new - crop sowing progress is fast, and last week's exports increased. [5] - **Brazilian Market**: Brazilian farmers' selling progress is slow, and the recent crushing volume has decreased. Due to large Chinese purchases, the domestic crushing profit has weakened, and exports are expected to increase. [5] - **Argentine Market**: The domestic crushing growth may slow down due to oil - mill shutdowns, but soybean exports may increase. [5] - **Domestic Market**: The domestic soybean meal supply is loose, with increasing oil - mill operating rates, rising inventories, and low spot trading. The rapeseed meal demand is weakening, and the supply pressure still exists. [6] 3.3 Macroeconomic Analysis The reduction of tariffs between China and the US has led to a slight market recovery, but the meal market's reaction is average. The impact of tariff adjustments on soybean imports is limited, and there are many uncertainties. The domestic soybean supply is less affected by policies due to the increase of new supply sources, but the long - term soybean meal is still supported by policies. [7] 3.4 Logic Analysis The meal futures rebounded today. After the significant increase in soybean meal spot trading yesterday, the futures market reduced positions significantly, indicating that the current price reflects the market's judgment to some extent. However, the supply - side pressure remains, and it is difficult for the price to rise unilaterally. Rapeseed meal also lacks positive drivers, and its price difference will likely fluctuate. [8] 3.5 Trading Strategies - **Unilateral**: Hold long positions. [9] - **Arbitrage**: Go long on the M11 - 1 spread and expect the MRM09 spread to widen. [9] - **Options**: Adopt the strategy of selling wide straddles. [9]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The US corn planting progress is accelerating, and the US corn price is in a bottom - range oscillation. With the reduction of Sino - US tariffs, the US corn price has strong bottom support. The domestic corn price is expected to be bullish in the short - term due to factors such as reduced imports of grains, low inventory of traders in North China, and expected feed enterprise procurement in May. In the medium - to - long - term, policy grain auctions are expected in June. The corn starch price is mainly affected by corn price and downstream procurement. Although the inventory has slightly increased this week, it is expected to have short - term support, but the enterprise may be in a long - term loss state due to weak demand [5][8][9]. 3. Summary by Directory First Part: Data - **Futures Market**: For corn futures (C2601, C2505, C2509), the closing prices are 2249, 2261, and 2347 respectively, with increases of 0.31%, 0.13%, and 0.51%. For corn starch futures (CS2601, CS2505, CS2509), the closing prices are 2654, 2643, and 2738 respectively, with changes of 0.30%, - 0.19%, and 0.33%. The trading volume and open interest of each contract also have different degrees of change [3]. - **Spot and Basis**: Corn spot prices vary in different regions, such as 2210 yuan in Qinggang and 2468 yuan in Zhucheng Xingmao. The basis also shows different values. Starch spot prices are relatively stable, with prices ranging from 2750 to 2970 yuan. The basis of starch is positive [3]. - **Spreads**: Corn inter - month spreads (e.g., C01 - C05 is - 12 with a change of 4), starch inter - month spreads (e.g., CS01 - CS05 is 11 with a change of 13), and cross - variety spreads (e.g., CS09 - C09 is 391 with a change of - 3) are presented [3]. Second Part: Market Judgment - **Corn**: The US corn price has strong bottom support. The domestic northern port flat - hatch price has declined, and the Northeast corn spot price has stabilized. The supply in North China has decreased, and the corn price is weak. The wheat price in North China is stable, and wheat is gradually substituting for corn. The domestic breeding demand is still weak, but the supply is low, so the corn spot price will rise in the short - term. The reduction of imported grains is expected to be beneficial to the spot market. The corn price is expected to be strong, with short - term support at 2400 yuan/ton in North China and 2150 yuan/ton in Heilongjiang. In the medium - to - long - term, policy grain auctions are expected in June [5][8]. - **Starch**: The number of trucks arriving at Shandong deep - processing plants has decreased, and the corn price in Shandong is relatively stable. The starch price in Shandong is around 2860 yuan, and the Northeast starch spot price is also strong. The corn starch inventory has slightly increased this week, reaching 142.9 million tons. The starch price is mainly affected by corn price and downstream procurement. In the medium - to - long - term, due to weak demand, enterprises will be in a long - term loss state, but the profit will be repaired. The 07 starch contract is expected to have support at around 2650 [9]. Third Part: Trading Strategies - **Unilateral Trading**: The domestic 07 corn contract is expected to oscillate in a narrow range, and short - term long positions can be considered [11]. - **Arbitrage**: Hold the strategy of buying spot and shorting 07 corn. Expand the spread between 09 corn and starch when the spread is low and conduct oscillatory operations [14]. - **Option Strategy**: Enterprises with spot positions can sell corn call options [15]. Fourth Part: Related Attachments - The attachments include various charts such as the spot price of corn in different regions, the basis of corn 09 contract, the 9 - 1 spread of corn and corn starch, the basis and spread of corn starch 09 contract, which visually show the price trends and relationships of different periods and varieties [17][20][23].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rebound in the commodity market following the Geneva joint statement between China and the U.S., driven by demand recovery expectations and supply contractions in certain products [1]. Group 1: Demand Marginal Tracking - The demand increase in the 90-day tariff suspension period is attributed to the shipment of previously delayed orders and U.S. companies' potential actions to "rush imports and transshipments" [2]. - The recent rise in U.S. shipping prices indicates an increase in orders, which will sustain strong demand in the near term [2]. - For complex goods, the delivery process may not see significant growth in demand during the tariff suspension, while shorter delivery cycle products like textiles and toys may show increased purchasing by U.S. companies [4][5]. Group 2: Profit and Supply Decision Adjustments - Short-term supply changes have a greater impact on price elasticity, with maintenance and operational issues in PX and PTA providing upward momentum for chemical products [9]. - The actual pace of production recovery is constrained by large manufacturers' maintenance plans and strategic supply adjustments, which create price support independent of demand [10]. - Despite potential for rapid production increases in the upstream supply chain, the lack of significant demand growth and previous low-profit periods may limit the willingness of leading manufacturers to increase output [13]. Group 3: Trade Policy Uncertainty - The uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy remains a significant risk, with a potential increase in tariffs by 54% if no agreement is reached within 90 days [16]. - The U.S. fiscal issues may necessitate a focus on revenue generation and spending cuts, complicating trade negotiations and potentially leading to higher retail prices that suppress consumer demand [16]. - The Federal Reserve's monetary policy adjustments in response to economic conditions may also impact inflation expectations and commodity prices [17]. Group 4: Sector-Specific Insights - Precious metals may experience short-term price corrections due to tariff and geopolitical tensions but are expected to return to their roles as a store of value in the medium term [23]. - Non-ferrous metals may face short-term demand limitations due to U.S. procurement decisions during the tariff suspension, but medium-term trends will be influenced by Federal Reserve policies [23]. - The energy sector faces supply and demand pressures, with OPEC's production increases and limited demand support affecting price stability [23].

Coking enterprises' profits have improved, but steel mills' procurement willingness has decreased, and coke supply has increased, with an overall supply - surplus pattern [2] - **Rebar**: The driving force for the previous rise has weakened, demand is falling slowly in the short term, inventory is still being depleted, but the rainy season may affect inventory depletion. Supply remains high, and attention should be paid to the impact of the suspension of a 24% tariff on exports [2] - **Glass**: Some production lines have resumed operation, daily output has fluctuated slightly, spot prices have fallen slightly, and inventory has increased significantly. The real - estate industry is in an adjustment period, and demand is difficult to recover significantly [2] Financial Market - **Stock index futures/options**: The previous trading day saw gains in major stock indexes. The latest LPR has been cut, and banks have lowered deposit rates. The Sino - US tariff issue has achieved phased results, and the market's risk - aversion sentiment has eased. Long positions in stock indexes can be held [4] - **Treasury bonds**: The yield of the 10 - year treasury bond has risen, and market interest rates are consolidating. The central bank has carried out reverse - repurchase operations, and long positions in treasury bonds can be held lightly [4] - **Gold**: The pricing mechanism of gold is shifting, and factors such as central bank gold purchases, currency credit, and geopolitical risks are affecting its price. The logic for the current price increase has not completely reversed, and the price is expected to be in a high - level shock [4] Light Industry and Agricultural Products - **Pulp**: Spot prices are stable, raw - material prices have fallen, the papermaking industry's profitability is low, and demand is in the off - season. Pulp prices are expected to be in a shock [6] - **Logs**: Downstream demand is in the off - season, supply pressure has weakened, and prices are expected to be in a bottom - level shock [6] - **Oils and fats**: Palm oil production is in a seasonal increase period, and inventory has risen. The supply of three major oils is abundant, and it is in the traditional consumption off - season, but pre - festival stocking has improved spot consumption. Prices are expected to be in a shock [6] - **Meals**: Sino - US trade relations have eased, US soybean inventories may tighten, and domestic soybean supply has become more abundant. Meal prices are expected to be in a weak - biased shock [6] - **Live pigs**: The average slaughter weight has increased slightly, demand from slaughter enterprises has decreased, and post - festival consumption has declined seasonally. However, secondary fattening demand provides support, and prices are expected to be in a shock [8] - **Rubber**: Domestic rubber output is stable, Thai raw - material prices are high, demand from tire enterprises is recovering, inventory accumulation has slowed down, and prices are expected to be in a strong - biased shock [8] Polyester Industry - **PX**: The acceleration of the Russia - Ukraine peace talks may suppress oil - price rebounds, PX load has recovered, and prices are expected to fluctuate with oil prices [8] - **PTA**: The acceleration of the Russia - Ukraine peace talks may suppress oil - price rebounds, PXN spreads are around $272/ton, and short - term supply and demand are in a de - stocking state, mainly affected by raw - material price fluctuations [9] - **MEG**: Domestic production load has decreased, ports are expected to de - stock, raw - material prices are weak, and the market fluctuates widely due to macro - sentiment fluctuations [9] - **PR**: Mainstream polyester factories may cut production, and prices may be adjusted downward due to cost factors [9] - **PF**: Although downstream buyers are cautious, international oil prices have risen, and supply - side factors are favorable. The market is expected to be in a narrow - range consolidation [9]
