Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The short - term trend of soybean meal is downward. The current domestic supply is sufficient, and factors such as Argentina's zero - tariff export policy and the U.S. soybean harvest are negative for prices. However, the continuous downward space is limited due to Sino - U.S. trade tariff issues [1][3]. - Rapeseed meal is also expected to decline in the short term. Trade policies and high inventory lead to a mixed situation of long and short factors. Its trend mainly follows that of soybean meal, and the progress of Sino - Canadian trade needs to be monitored [1][5]. - Palm oil is expected to continue its short - term adjustment. The frequent changes in U.S. biodiesel policy and the expected inventory build - up of Malaysian palm oil in September may suppress its performance [1][7]. - Soybean oil will continue to adjust in the short term. The frequent changes in U.S. biodiesel policy and the approaching U.S. soybean harvest may put pressure on it. It has recently followed the adjustment of palm oil [1]. - Rapeseed oil will maintain a high - level shock. The Sino - Canadian trade dispute and the domestic de - stocking cycle support its price, but the development of Sino - Australian trade restricts its continuous upward movement [1]. - Cotton is recommended to be short - allocated in the short term. The increasing supply from the U.S. and other Northern Hemisphere countries, weak export demand, and the start of domestic new cotton harvesting with no obvious price - support behavior contribute to the bearish outlook [1][11]. - For jujubes, it is advisable to be cautious and look for short - selling opportunities on rallies. Although the market's concerns about quality are gradually alleviated, there is still pressure after the new fruit is launched, and there may be large price fluctuations before November [1][15]. - For live pigs, the short - term 11 - contract is recommended to be short - allocated on rebounds, and the inter - month reverse spread strategy should be maintained. The spot market is under pressure from both supply and feed price adjustments [1][18].

Core Views of the Report - Last week, BMD Malaysian palm oil's main continuous contract fell 21 to close at 4,424 ringgit/ton, a decline of 0.47%; palm oil's 01 contract rose 20 to close at 9,316 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.22%; soybean oil's 01 contract rose 6 to close at 8,328 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.07%; rapeseed oil's 01 contract rose 211 to close at 10,068 yuan/ton, an increase of 2.14%; CBOT US soybean oil's main continuous contract fell 1.53 to close at 50.59 cents/pound, a decline of 2.94%; ICE rapeseed's active contract fell 18.6 to close at 618.7 Canadian dollars/ton, a decline of 2.92% [4]. - Palm oil fluctuated within the week, first rising then falling. India's strong imports in August and heavy rainfall in Malaysian production areas, which affected production and led to a weakening of Malaysian palm oil production on a month - on - month basis, limited the price decline. However, the uncertainty of the US biodiesel policy and the decline of US soybean oil dragged down the palm oil trend. Rapeseed oil was strong due to expected low supply in the context of China - Canada trade and continued inventory reduction in China [4][7]. - The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points last week. The dollar index fluctuated at a low level, and oil prices weakened. In terms of fundamentals, heavy rainfall in Malaysian production areas affected production and logistics, and the output of Malaysian palm oil in the first half of September decreased on a month - on - month basis, limiting price declines. But the uncertainty of the US biodiesel policy dragged down US soybean oil. Palm oil is expected to fluctuate in the short term [4][10]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Short - term Decline**: For soybean meal and rapeseed meal, the short - term outlook is bearish. Soybean meal is affected by the increase in US soybean production and inventory, and rapeseed meal is influenced by trade policies and high inventory [1]. - **Short - term Consolidation**: Palm oil and soybean oil are expected to consolidate in the short term. Palm oil has positive consumption expectations due to biodiesel policies and purchase demand, while soybean oil faces pressure from the approaching US soybean harvest and high domestic inventory [1]. - **Oscillating with a Bullish Bias**: Rapeseed oil is likely to oscillate with a bullish bias, supported by the China - Canada trade dispute and dual - festival demand, but limited by the resumption of China - Australia trade [1]. - **Cautious Bullish**: Cotton is cautiously bullish. Although the supply is under pressure from the increasing output in the US and other Northern Hemisphere countries, the short - term bottom of the domestic market is supported by tight supply before new cotton listing and a lower inventory - to - sales ratio [1]. - **Cautious Bearish**: Jujube is cautiously bearish. There is pressure after the new jujube harvest considering the production forecast and carry - over inventory, but there may be large price fluctuations before November [1]. - **Cautious Bullish**: Live pigs are cautiously bullish.

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].
