1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - In the context of the expectation that the supply of oils and fats in both the producing regions and the domestic market will be abundant, oils and fats, mainly palm oil and rapeseed oil, are expected to continue to weaken. It is recommended to short-term short, and exit when the price in the producing regions stabilizes or there is new positive driving force [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs PART ONE: Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: Palm oil is neutral to bearish, soybean oil is neutral to bearish, and rapeseed oil is bearish. Indonesian and Malaysian palm oil producing regions have high inventories, and the expected imports to China in the fourth quarter will increase. China is expected to import 12 million tons of US soybeans in the next two months, but it is uncertain how much will enter commercial crushing. There are expectations of reconciliation between China and Canada, and the bumper harvest in producing regions such as Canada and Australia this year is marginally bearish [5]. - **Demand**: It is in a wait - and - see state. In the producing regions, Indonesia's biodiesel policy is being actively promoted, and B40 provides support, but the implementation time of B50 is far away and difficult to drive. Due to the US government shutdown, the biodiesel RVO originally scheduled to be finalized on October 31 has not been determined. The domestic peak season is lackluster, and the domestic demand for oils and fats in the fourth quarter is difficult to drive, but there is an expected increase in soybean oil exports [5]. - **Inventory**: It is in a wait - and - see state. The total domestic inventory of oils and fats is still at a high level. Rapeseed oil is continuously destocking due to raw material shortages. Palm oil has the expectation of restocking due to a large number of vessel purchases by traders. For soybean oil, it is necessary to pay attention to the destination of imported US soybeans (state reserve/commercial crushing) [5]. - **Macro and Policy**: It is in a wait - and - see state. The Sino - US trade agreement stipulates that China will repurchase US soybeans, which has a phased impact on CBOT soybeans and Brazilian premiums. Indonesia officially announced that B50 is in the road test phase and is expected to be implemented in the second half of next year, but some analysts believe there are still obstacles to implementation next year. The US biodiesel RVO is still uncertain. There are expectations of reconciliation in Sino - Canadian trade relations, which is bearish for rapeseed oil [5]. - **Investment View**: Short - term shorting is recommended [5]. - **Trading Strategy**: For single - side trading, short palm oil and rapeseed oil. For arbitrage, go long Y01 and short P01. For options, buy call options for protection. Risk factors to focus on include unexpected production cuts and policy disturbances [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the BMD Malaysian palm oil main contract fell 215 to close at 4,205 ringgit/ton, a decline of 4.86%; the palm oil 01 contract fell 358 to close at 8,764 yuan/ton, a decline of 3.92%; the soybean oil 01 contract fell 66 to close at 8,128 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.81%; the rapeseed oil 01 contract fell 339 to close at 9,422 yuan/ton, a decline of 3.47%; the CBOT US soybean oil main contract fell 1.67 to close at 48.62 cents/pound, a decline of 3.32%; the ICE rapeseed active contract rose 5.5 to close at 637.9 Canadian dollars/ton, an increase of 0.87% [4]. - Palm oil broke through support and continued to weaken. High - frequency data showed that the export demand for Malaysian palm oil slowed down in October while production maintained an upward trend. It is expected that the ending inventory at the end of October will accumulate more than expected, supply will become looser, and origin quotes will be lowered. In addition, Indonesia's production data was impressive, and its 2025 production is expected to maintain a large increase. Indonesia's B50 policy has been opposed by the mining industry, and due to factors such as funding constraints, the implementation time of the biodiesel policy may be postponed [4]. - Macroscopically, the Fed cut interest rates as expected in October, but there were large differences regarding a December rate cut, and the probability of a rate cut declined significantly. The US dollar index fluctuated upwards, and oil prices fluctuated. Fundamentally, the expectation of inventory accumulation for Malaysian palm oil at the end of October has increased. Attention should be paid to the upcoming MPOB report. Indonesia's palm oil production in 2025 has been impressive, supply is becoming looser, and the implementation time of the biodiesel policy is still uncertain. It is expected that palm oil will fluctuate weakly in the short term [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - Various contract price changes from October 24 to October 31 are presented. For example, the CBOT soybean oil main contract fell from 50.29 to 48.62 cents/pound, a decline of 3.32%; the BMD Malaysian palm oil main contract fell from 4,420 to 4,205 ringgit/ton, a decline of 4.86%; the DCE palm oil contract fell from 9,122 to 8,764 yuan/ton, a decline of 3.92%, etc. There are also data on spot prices and price differences between various oils [5].

It is expected to continue inventory accumulation in October, which is different from the previous expectation of inventory reduction starting in October, being negative for palm oil. After the Diwali festival in October, India's import demand for oils decreased, leading to a worse export outlook. Some Indonesian palm oil producers have reduced fertilizer use and maintenance, and the subsequent impact of this measure needs attention [3] - **Rapeseed Oil**: There are expectations of negotiations between China and Canada, which is negative for rapeseed oil. The Sino - Canadian trade relationship is still uncertain, and attention should be paid to the negotiation situation and China's imports of Canadian rapeseed, Australian rapeseed, and rapeseed oil from other regions. Additionally, the progress of Indonesia's B50 and US biodiesel policies should be monitored [3] Strategy Viewpoints and Outlook - **Unilateral**: The pressure level for palm oil 01 is recommended to refer to 9200 - 9400, and for soybean oil 01, it is 8300 - 8400. For options, it is advisable to buy put options on palm oil at low volatility [5] - **Arbitrage**: It is recommended to wait and see for now [5] - **Outlook**: Key points to watch include national biodiesel policies, the production and export of Southeast Asian palm oil, China's rapeseed import policy, and crude oil prices [5] Industrial Chain Structure - Futures and Spot Markets - Last week, palm oil prices dropped significantly due to a substantial increase in Malaysian palm oil production in the first 20 days of October [14] - The soybean - palm oil spread, rapeseed - palm oil spread, and rapeseed - soybean oil spread all oscillated widely. It is recommended to wait and see for now [17] Supply Side - **Malaysian Palm Oil Monthly Data**: In September, Malaysia's palm oil inventory increased significantly to 2.361 million tons, much higher than expected.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The overall view is that due to the expected high - yield in South America, there is no basis for a bull market. However, cost support makes a significant decline unlikely. The market is expected to be generally oscillating with an upward bias, in the range of 950 - 1150 cents per bushel [5]. - Negative factors include the return of the rainy season in Brazil, improved precipitation, accelerated sowing progress, and the expected increase in Brazil's planting area in the 2025/26 season [5]. - Positive factors are the possible intensification of the biodiesel policy to support prices, the possible agreement on purchasing US agricultural products after the APEC meeting between Chinese and US leaders, and the possible reduction in South American soybean production due to La Nina weather [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Price - This week, the price of US soybeans oscillated and closed higher. The market is optimistic about the meeting between the Chinese and US presidents during APEC next week, and the return of the rainy season in Brazil is expected to speed up the planting progress. Next week's focus points are the follow - up progress of Sino - US relations, the weather in South American main producing areas, and the progress of the biodiesel policy [8]. - This week, the price of US soybean meal oscillated and rose. The market is optimistic about the meeting between Chinese and US presidents during the APEC meeting in South Korea next week, and the possible delay of Indonesia's B50 biodiesel policy, which weakens the oil market and provides additional support for soybean meal [12]. - This week, the price of US soybean oil oscillated and declined. The possible delay of Indonesia's biodiesel B50 addition policy has raised concerns about the oil consumption outlook, putting pressure on the global oil market [14]. - Since September 19, the USDA has suspended data updates [16][18][20]. - On October 24, the spot price of soybeans in Mato Grosso, Brazil, slightly increased to 119.35 reais per bag, and the spot price at Brazilian ports increased to 138.66 reais per bag [22][24]. Supply Factors - The drought situation in US soybean - producing areas remained unchanged, with a drought rate of 68%, the same as last week [27]. - The temperature in US producing areas will be warmer in the next two weeks, and precipitation in the Great Lakes region will be less, which is conducive to the completion of the harvest [29][31]. - In Brazil, the central - northern region has less precipitation, while the southeastern region has more precipitation. In Argentina, the precipitation in soybean - producing areas is basically normal, and the sowing work is about to start [33][35]. - As of the week ending September 26, the good - to - excellent rate of US soybeans was 62%, up from 61% last week but down from 64% in the same period last year [37].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the domestic oil and fat sector oscillated and declined, mainly dragged down by the drop in international oil prices. Palm oil showed a wide - range oscillation. The production and demand of Malaysian palm oil both increased in the first half of October, with expected subsequent production slowdown and inventory reduction. Indonesia plans to raise export taxes to support the B50 biodiesel policy in 2026, which provides support for prices. The easing of China - Canada trade relations may lead to a restart of Canadian rapeseed imports, making rapeseed oil relatively weak. The continuous shutdown of the US government has suspended data reports, causing a lack of market guidance, but the higher - than - expected soybean crushing demand released by NOPA has boosted the price of US soybean oil. Overall, palm oil is expected to oscillate widely in the short term [5][9][13]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - CBOT soybean oil main - continuous contract rose 1.13 to 51.1 cents per pound, an increase of 2.26%.

Core Viewpoint - The domestic soybean oil market experienced fluctuations in Q3 2025, initially supported by costs and fundamentals, but later declined due to external market influences and unexpected news. The outlook for Q4 suggests a potential for stronger soybean oil prices due to tightening supply and ongoing supportive factors in the domestic and international vegetable oil markets [1][7]. Group 1: Price Trends - In Q3 2025, the price of domestic first-grade soybean oil first rose and then fell, reaching a low of 8069 CNY/ton on July 7 and a high of 8730 CNY/ton on August 13. The average price for the quarter was 8428 CNY/ton, reflecting a 4.08% increase from the previous quarter and a 7.30% increase year-on-year [1]. - The supply-demand dynamics in Q3 showed an increase in both supply and demand for soybean oil, but the growth in inventory limited the price increase [1][5]. Group 2: Import Costs and Supply - The increase in soybean import costs was a significant factor supporting soybean oil prices in Q3. The cost of imported soybeans rose to 4130 CNY/ton, up 6.63% quarter-on-quarter and 3.92% year-on-year, driven by strong demand for Brazilian soybeans amid ongoing trade issues [3]. - The volume of soybean imports increased, with China importing 8618 million tons from January to September 2025, a year-on-year increase of 5.29%. The average operating rate of key domestic crushing enterprises was 67%, up 11 percentage points from the previous quarter, resulting in a soybean oil output of 527 million tons, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 22.56% [3]. Group 3: Demand and Inventory - Domestic demand for soybean oil saw limited growth in Q3, with total consumption reaching 497 million tons, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 19.18%. However, the increase in production led to a significant rise in inventory, with port soybean oil stocks reaching 122 million tons, up 41.86% from the previous quarter [5]. - The demand situation was influenced by seasonal factors and market uncertainties, leading to increased purchasing activity from downstream customers ahead of traditional holidays, despite a weaker restaurant industry impacting overall demand [5]. Group 4: External Market Influences - By the end of Q3, external market prices for soybean oil declined, with CBOT soybean oil dropping to 49.44 cents/pound, a decrease of 12.85% from its quarterly high, and Malaysian palm oil prices falling by 4.58% [7]. - Looking ahead to Q4, the supply of Brazilian soybeans is expected to decline, and domestic oil mill operating rates are anticipated to decrease, tightening soybean oil supply. However, seasonal reductions in consumption are also expected [7]. Group 5: Policy and Market Outlook - The biodiesel policy remains a significant factor influencing the vegetable oil market, with expectations of increased demand supporting both domestic and international vegetable oil markets despite uncertainties surrounding U.S. biodiesel policy implementation [7]. - Overall, the soybean oil market is expected to experience a strong performance in Q4, with prices projected to range between 8300 and 8700 CNY/ton, supported by fundamental supply-demand factors and international market influences [7].

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, including "oscillating" for some and "oscillating weakly" for others [5][6][7][8][9][11][13][14][15][17][18][20] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report analyzes various agricultural products. Overall, the market shows a mixed trend with some products facing downward pressure while others are in a state of oscillation. The macro - environment, supply - demand relationship, and policy factors all have an impact on the market [1][5][6][7][8][9][11][13][14][15][17][18][20] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Outlook for Each Product - **Oils and Fats**: Concerned about the effectiveness of the lower technical support. Due to the pessimistic outlook for US soybean export demand, the market is in an oscillating and downward - adjusting state. Palm oil may continue to accumulate inventory, while domestic soybean oil inventory may peak and decline, and rapeseed oil inventory may continue to decrease. Overall, the oils and fats market may continue to oscillate and consolidate [5] - **Protein Meal**: The sentiment boost is limited, and the market continues to oscillate at a low level. US soybeans are facing challenges in exports, and the domestic supply pressure is large in the short - term, but the demand may increase steadily in the long - term [5][6] - **Corn/Starch**: With the new grain selling pressure coming, the spot price drives the futures price to decline significantly. In the short - term, the market needs to deal with the new grain listing pressure, and in the long - term, it may show a pattern of short - term bearish and long - term bullish [6][7] - **Pigs**: The planned slaughter volume in October increases, and the pig price is under pressure. In the short - term, the supply pressure increases, and in the long - term, if the capacity reduction is implemented, the supply pressure may ease in the second half of 2026 [8] - **Natural Rubber**: The negative factors have not been realized, but the market sentiment remains weak. The futures price may have over - declined due to sentiment. NR may show a relatively strong performance in the near - term. In the short - term, it can be considered from a long - bias perspective of oversold rebound, but the increase range is limited [1][9][11] - **Synthetic Rubber**: The raw material has weakened significantly, and the futures price has dropped sharply. The high production volume and high inventory are the main pressures, and the market is expected to oscillate at the bottom [13] - **Cotton**: The decline of cotton price has slowed down, and attention should be paid to the purchase price. Based on the expected increase in production, the cotton price is expected to oscillate weakly. It is recommended to adopt a short - on - rebound strategy [14] - **Sugar**: Both domestic and international sugar prices have weakened. In the medium - and long - term, the sugar market is expected to be in a bearish pattern due to the expected increase in global supply [15] - **Pulp**: The game of the virtual - to - real ratio may lead to intraday fluctuations, but the effectiveness needs to be observed. The high supply and the issue of birch pulp warehouse receipts are the main downward drivers [17] - **Double - Glued Paper**: The spot price is stable, and the futures price oscillates. The market supply and demand are in a loose pattern, and the price may decline slightly after the festival [18] - **Logs**: The peak season is not prosperous, and the logs oscillate weakly. The weak demand and high inventory are the main factors affecting the market [20] 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring - The report mentions the data monitoring of various varieties, including oils and fats, corn, starch, pigs, cotton, sugar, pulp, double - glued paper, and logs, but does not provide specific data analysis content [22][54][67][113][126][140][163] 3.3 Rating Standards - The report provides rating standards, including "strong", "oscillating strongly", "oscillating", "oscillating weakly", "weakly", with a time cycle of 2 - 12 weeks and a standard deviation calculation method [175]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The Indonesian government plans to enforce the B50 biodiesel program in the second half of 2026, which will generate an additional demand for 530,000 tons of crude palm oil. However, the progress of the US biodiesel policy remains uncertain due to the government shutdown [4]. - The September MPOB report showed an increase in the ending inventory to 2.36 million tons, which was bearish for the market. But the production in the producing areas will enter the off - season, leading to a gradual contraction in supply. In India, the palm oil imports decreased in September due to more soybean oil imports. In China, the palm oil trading was sluggish, with weekly inventory decreasing and expected to be stable in the future. The domestic soybean oil inventory is at a five - year high, while the import of rapeseed products is expected to decrease [4]. - The Sino - US trade conflict has escalated, reducing the market's expectation of easing at the APEC meeting. The US dollar index continues to fluctuate at a low level, and the oil price is weakening. The Malaysian palm oil production is entering the off - season, and there is support from the Indonesian B50 policy. However, the September MPOB report showed lower - than - expected consumption, increasing the ending inventory and limiting price increases. It is expected that palm oil will fluctuate widely in October with strong support at the bottom [4]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 3.1:油脂市场行情回顾 - Since September, the oil and fat sector has been oscillating.
