Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-08-26 07:47
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. It purchases raw materials from nearby companies and oil mills [17]. - The sales area of Guangxi's rapeseed oil is mainly Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. The enterprise is bullish on the 2025 soybean oil market, believes in focusing on macro news, and thinks rapeseed oil may be a strong variety in the fourth quarter [18][19]. August 19th Morning - Enterprise B - It is a trading enterprise mainly engaged in rapeseed meal and soybean meal trade, with a total annual trading volume of 120 - 130 tons [20]. - It mainly purchases rapeseed meal from domestic oil mills. The substitution between soybean meal and rapeseed meal is affected by price difference. Rapeseed meal demand is seasonal. The soybean meal market has sufficient supply. Key factors to watch include anti - dumping policies and Sino - US negotiations [21][23]. August 19th Afternoon - Enterprise C - It is mainly engaged in the trade of soybean, rapeseed, and cottonseed oil, with a trading volume of about 300,000 tons. It serves customers in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing [24]. - In the soybean oil market, supply was tight from February to April this year, and consumption was weak from June to August. In the rapeseed oil market, port inventory is low, and consumption is mostly replaced. If Sino - US negotiations fail, there may be a shortage of soybeans from the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year. Rapeseed pressing volume may decline [25][27]. August 20th Morning - Enterprise D - It has a daily rapeseed pressing capacity of 2000 tons and a daily refining capacity of 600 tons. It is currently short of rapeseed and may switch to soybean pressing. The de - stocking progress of rapeseed and soybean oil in the fourth quarter depends on domestic consumption [29][32]. August 20th Morning - Enterprise E - It has three pressing lines. It is currently pressing soybeans with a capacity utilization rate of 50 - 60%, and the rapeseed line is shut down. It is concerned about the import of Australian rapeseed. It does not think there will be a supply problem in the fourth quarter, but there may be a gap in March [34][36]. August 20th Afternoon - Enterprise F - Its daily pressing capacity is 11,000 tons. The soybean pressing line is fully operational, and the rapeseed line is shut down. It has three ships of new - season Australian rapeseed with uncertain plans. Rapeseed oil is mostly for rigid demand, and soybean oil is under less pressure. After the start of school, consumption will improve, but there is obvious consumption downgrading [37][39]. August 21st Morning - Enterprise G - Its daily soybean pressing capacity is 5000 tons, and it also has other production capacities. It mainly purchases Brazilian and Argentine soybeans. It expects a soybean supply gap in February - March next year and high soybean meal inventory after September [41][44]. August 21st Morning - Enterprise H - It is mainly engaged in oil packaging, with a planned annual capacity of 200,000 tons. The consumption in different regions has different preferences. This year's sales volume has decreased, and the downstream procurement is more cautious. Palm oil demand has decreased, and the overall oil demand is stable but lacks growth [46][49]. August 22nd Morning - Enterprise I - It has various production capacities, including peanut, wheat, and planned soybean pressing. It mainly purchases oil raw materials from domestic oil mills. It is bullish on the short - term oil market and expects soybean meal to be weak for a long time [50][54].

Report Industry Investment Ratings | Variety | Rating | | --- | --- | | Oils and Fats | Oscillating Bullish | | Protein Meal | Oscillating | | Corn and Starch | Oscillating Bearish | | Hogs | Oscillating | | Natural Rubber | Oscillating Bullish | | Synthetic Rubber | Oscillating Bullish | | Cotton | Oscillating Bullish | | Sugar | Oscillating Bearish in the long - term, Oscillating in the short - term | | Pulp | Oscillating | | Logs | Oscillating Bearish | [171] 2. Core Views The report provides a comprehensive analysis of various agricultural products including oils and fats, protein meal, corn, hogs, rubber, cotton, sugar, pulp, and logs. It assesses the current market conditions, influencing factors, and offers mid - term outlooks and trading strategies for each product. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Oils and Fats - **View**: Short - term focus on the effectiveness of the lower technical support. - **Logic**: Technical selling pressure led to drops in US soybeans and soybean oil on Tuesday. The market is waiting for the Fed Chair's speech, with the US dollar oscillating stronger and crude oil prices falling. US soybean growth is good, and the USDA August report anticipates a record - high yield. There are uncertainties in US soybean exports, and the demand for US soybean oil from biodiesel has decreased this year. Domestic soybean imports are expected to decline seasonally, and the inventory of domestic soybean oil may peak. Palm oil is in the production season, and there is a high probability of inventory accumulation. - **Outlook**: Oscillating bullish [5]. 3.1.2 Protein Meal - **View**: The price is oscillating narrowly at a high level, waiting for the results of the field inspection. - **Logic**: Internationally, US soybean is expected to oscillate around 1050 cents. Domestically, there is a consensus on near - month inventory pressure and far - month supply shortage. Some oil mills will reduce their operating rates, and the import profit is rising. - **Outlook**: The basis may bottom out and rebound. It is recommended that oil mills sell on rallies, and downstream enterprises buy basis contracts or price at low levels. Hold long positions at 2900 - 2910 and add positions on dips [6]. 3.1.3 Corn and Starch - **View**: The sentiment is bearish, and spot and near - month prices are falling rapidly. - **Logic**: Domestic corn prices are generally falling. The supply of old - crop corn is tight, but the purchasing enthusiasm is weak. The new - crop corn production is normal, and foreign supply is abundant. - **Outlook**: Oscillating bearish in the short - term, with supply pressure easing after the new - crop harvest [7][8]. 3.1.4 Hogs - **View**: Stricter transportation policies have weakened the futures price. - **Logic**: In the short - term, the planned slaughter volume in August has increased. In the medium - term, the supply of commercial pigs is expected to increase. In the long - term, anti - involution policies may lead to capacity reduction. - **Outlook**: Oscillating. There is inventory pressure in the short - term, and the far - month prices may be affected by capacity reduction expectations [9]. 3.1.5 Natural Rubber - **View**: The weakening of commodity sentiment dragged down the rubber price. - **Logic**: Although the rubber price dropped due to weakening sentiment, it gradually recovered in the afternoon. The rubber is entering the seasonal rising period, and there are many speculative themes. The short - term supply may decrease, and the demand is rigid. - **Outlook**: Oscillating bullish in the short - term [11][12]. 3.1.6 Synthetic Rubber - **View**: Positive news supported the price rebound after the decline. - **Logic**: The BR price initially followed the market down but rebounded after the news of petrochemical industry reform. The price is mainly affected by natural rubber and the short - term tight supply of butadiene. - **Outlook**: The butadiene price may rise slightly, and the market may oscillate bullishly [13][14]. 3.1.7 Cotton - **View**: Supported by fundamentals, the cotton price corrected during the session but was relatively resistant to decline. - **Logic**: Affected by the overall commodity atmosphere, the cotton price corrected at night but rebounded during the day. The commercial inventory is low, and the demand is improving, but there are also factors restricting the price increase. - **Outlook**: Oscillating between 13500 - 14300 yuan/ton [15]. 3.1.8 Sugar - **View**: The increasing supply has put pressure on the sugar price. - **Logic**: In the international market, Brazil's sugar production is increasing. In the domestic market, the import volume in July reached a high level. The supply is increasing, but the downward space is limited in the short - term. - **Outlook**: Oscillating bearish in the long - term, oscillating between 5600 - 5900 yuan/ton in the short - term [17]. 3.1.9 Pulp - **View**: The price change is small, moving within a range. - **Logic**: The pulp price continued to correct, and the spot price of softwood pulp declined. The supply and demand of wood pulp have both positive and negative factors. - **Outlook**: Oscillating. The price of hardwood pulp may drive the futures price, and the main contract is expected to move between 5100 - 5500 [18]. 3.1.10 Logs - **View**: Try to go long on far - month contracts at low prices. - **Logic**: The fundamentals of logs are marginally improving, with reduced arrival pressure and inventory depletion. However, there are also negative factors such as weak demand and delivery pressure. - **Outlook**: Oscillating between 790 - 840 [19][20]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring The report lists the data monitoring of various varieties including oils and fats, protein meal, corn, hogs, cotton, sugar, pulp, and logs, but no specific data analysis is provided in the given text [22][41][54]. 3.3 Rating Standards The report defines rating standards such as bullish, oscillating bullish, oscillating, oscillating bearish, and bearish, with a time - cycle of 2 - 12 weeks and a standard deviation calculation method [171]. 3.4 Commodity Index On August 20, 2025, the comprehensive index, commodity 20 index, and industrial product index all declined. The agricultural product index also declined, with a year - to - date increase of 2.94% [172][173][175].

Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-08-20 01:24
最近国际上这两件事凑一块儿,说巧也巧,说有门道也真有门道——一边是美国财政部8月15日刚放出来 的6月数据,咱中国在连续三个月减持美债后,居然破天荒增持了1亿,虽说这点钱在7564亿的总持仓里连 个水花都说不上,但这动作本身就够让人琢磨的;另一边就是特朗普,前阵子还咋咋呼呼说要因为咱买俄 罗斯石油,给中国输美商品加什么"次级关税",结果15号跟普京在阿拉斯加见完面,转头就跟福克斯新闻 说"现在不用考虑这事儿了",还补了句"两三周后再说"。 先掰扯掰扯特朗普这"改口"。之前他可不是这么说的,路透社都报道了,美方不光威胁中国,还真对印度 动手了——就因为印度买俄罗斯石油,直接宣布要给印度商品额外加税。怎么到中国这儿,就突然"刀下 留人"了?别听他说什么"因为会晤情况好",根子上还是不敢真把事儿闹大。 再说说咱那1亿美债的增持,别觉得这钱少就没意义。从2022年4月起,咱手里的美债就没回到过1万亿美 元,年年都在减持——2022年减了1732亿,2023年508亿,2024年573亿,今年前五个月也是增增减减,3 月到5月还连减了三个月。6月突然加这1亿,为啥? 一方面,6月美国那边放风说可能还要加息,美债价格跟着 ...
NASS vs. FSA —— 再论8月USDA报告
对冲研投· 2025-08-15 12:39
Core Viewpoint - The article focuses on the adjustments made in the August USDA report regarding the new crop soybean balance sheet, emphasizing the flexibility of yield adjustments compared to planting area estimates, and the potential impact of weather conditions on soybean production [4][14]. Group 1: Yield Adjustments - The USDA report indicates that soybean yields in most major producing states have been revised upwards, with some states reaching historical highs due to favorable weather conditions in July [5]. - Historical data shows that there has been no significant bias in the August yield estimates compared to final yields over the past 20 years, suggesting that yield adjustments can be substantial [7]. - Weather forecasts indicate ongoing risks, with dry conditions in early August potentially affecting soybean yields during critical growth stages [10]. Group 2: Planting Area Estimates - The article discusses the differences in planting area estimates between NASS and FSA, with NASS estimating 8.09 million acres and FSA estimating 7.976 million acres for soybean planting in 2025, a difference of approximately 1 million acres [15]. - NASS uses a comprehensive data collection method, while FSA relies on producer reports, leading to differences in data coverage and classification [16][17]. - The article suggests that the FSA's preliminary planting area can be used to estimate NASS's final planting area, with projections indicating a potential reduction of about 1.5 million acres from the June report [27]. Group 3: Market Outlook - The soybean market outlook indicates that if the U.S. and China reach an agreement on tariff reductions, soybean exports could increase, potentially tightening the soybean balance sheet further [14]. - Conversely, if significant yield losses occur, the USDA may reduce export and crushing estimates to stabilize ending stocks [14]. - The pricing dynamics for soybean meal are influenced by U.S.-China trade relations, with potential upward price pressure if trade agreements are reached, despite possible short-term supply pressures [28].

Xin Ji Yuan Qi Huo· 2025-08-15 11:55
Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content was provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The USDA供需 report was unexpectedly bullish, causing US soybeans to return above 1000 cents. Under the influence of anti - dumping measures on domestic rapeseed, the performance of double - meal (soybean meal and rapeseed meal) was differentiated, with rapeseed meal showing more volatility and soybean meal remaining relatively stable due to import cost support [35]. - Currently, the domestic soybean supply is abundant, and oil mills have high soybean meal inventories. Downstream feed enterprises maintain high - inventory rolling, resulting in weak short - term follow - up buying willingness and sluggish soybean meal transactions at oil mills [35]. - In the short term, influenced by the cooling sentiment in the rapeseed sector and news of customs inspections in some areas, short - term trading is recommended for soybean meal; rapeseed meal is more volatile, and short - term trading should be accompanied by risk prevention [36]. - In the long term, the global soybean supply is ample, limiting the sustained upward momentum of the soybean sector [37]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - **Futures Prices**: As of August 14, the closing price of the main soybean meal futures contract (M2601) was 3157 yuan/ton, up 2.77% from August 6; the main rapeseed meal futures contract (RM509) was 2686 yuan/ton, down 2.15%; the main corn futures contract (C2511) was 2281 yuan/ton, up 0.97%; the main live hog futures contract (LH2511) was 13900 yuan/ton, down 0.79%; the main egg futures contract (JD2510) was 3189 yuan/ton, down 5.60% [4]. - **Spot Prices**: On August 14, the spot price of 43% protein soybean meal in Shandong was 3000 yuan/ton, up 3.81% from August 6; the average price of rapeseed meal in China was 2600 yuan/ton, down 2.26%; the aggregated price of second - grade corn with 14.5% moisture in Bayuquan Port was 2310 yuan/ton, unchanged; the average daily slaughter price of commercial hogs in Henan was 13.76 yuan/kg, down 1.43%; the average price of eggs in the main producing areas in China was 3.07 yuan/jin, up 5.50% [4]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - **Cost - end**: In the next 6 - 10 days, most areas in the main US soybean - producing states will have higher - than - normal temperatures, and half of the areas will have precipitation close to the median. The USDA's August report showed that although the 2025/26 US soybean yield per acre increased from 52.5 bushels to 53.6 bushels, the sown area decreased from 83.4 million acres to 80.9 million acres, and the production decreased from 4.335 billion bushels to 4.292 billion bushels, reaching the sixth - highest in history. The USDA lowered the 2025/26 US soybean ending inventory to 290 million bushels, lower than the market expectation of 351 million bushels and the July forecast of 310 million bushels, hitting a three - year low. In July, Brazil's soybean exports reached 12.25 million tons, a record high for the same period. From January to July, Brazil's cumulative exports of oil crops reached 77.2 million tons, the first time to exceed this level in the same period of previous years. As of August 6, Argentine farmers had pre - sold 28.83 million tons of 2024/25 soybeans, 870,000 tons more than a week ago [7]. - **Supply - Import**: Affected by Brazil's strong exports and concerns about supply due to Sino - US trade uncertainties, China's soybean imports in July reached a record high for the same period for the third consecutive month. In July, China imported 11.67 million tons of soybeans, a 4.8% decrease from June but still the highest for the same period in history, an 18.5% increase from the same period in 2024. The total soybean imports in the first seven months of this year reached 61.04 million tons, a 4.6% year - on - year increase. The market expects soybean imports in August and September to remain above 10 million tons, with most coming from Brazil. However, China has not booked any US soybean cargoes for the fourth quarter, raising concerns about a potential supply shortage [7]. - **Demand - Pressing and Transaction**: As of the week ending August 8, the actual soybean crushing volume of oil mills was 2.1775 million tons, with an operating rate of 61.21%. On August 14, the total soybean meal transaction volume was 73,700 tons, 2900 tons less than the previous day, and the spot transaction volume was 28,700 tons. The weekly average showed that the total soybean meal transaction volume was 511,980 tons, and the spot transaction volume was 70,920 tons. Currently, the domestic soybean supply is abundant, oil mills have high soybean meal inventories, and downstream feed enterprises maintain high - inventory rolling, resulting in weak short - term follow - up buying willingness and sluggish soybean meal transactions at oil mills [7]. - **Inventory**: As of the week ending August 8, the soybean inventory was 7.1056 million tons, an 8.38% increase from the previous week and a 0.59% decrease from the same period in 2024; the soybean meal inventory was 1.0035 million tons, a 3.66% decrease from the previous week and a 31.74% decrease from the same period in 2024 [7]. 3.3 Supply - end - **Import**: As of August 14, the CNF price of Brazilian soybeans was 497.00 US dollars/ton, up 12 US dollars/ton from the previous week; the CNF price of US West Coast soybeans was 454.00 US dollars/ton, up 17 US dollars/ton from the previous week [11][12]. - **Pressing**: As of the week ending August 14, the soybean crushing profit was 209.40 yuan/ton, up 56.50 yuan/ton from the previous week. As of the week ending August 8, the domestic oil mill's weekly soybean crushing volume was 2.359 million tons, up 129,500 tons from the previous week. As of August 8, the domestic soybean oil mill operating rate was 60%, an increase of 3 percentage points from the previous week [15]. 3.4 Inventory - end - As of August 14, the imported soybean port inventory was 6.7355 million tons, a decrease of 108,000 tons from the previous week. Seasonally, the soybean port inventory is at a near - five - year low. As of August 1, the oil mill's soybean meal inventory was 960,900 tons, a decrease of 16,700 tons from the previous week. Seasonally, the domestic mainstream oil mill's soybean meal inventory is at a near - five - year medium level [18]. 3.5 Demand - end - As of August 8, the average daily trading volume of soybean meal at domestic mainstream oil mills was 500,700 tons, an increase of 222,400 tons from the previous week. Seasonally, it is at a near - five - year high level [22]. 3.6 Pig - end No specific content was provided for analysis in the given text. 3.7 Strategy Recommendation - Short - term: Due to the cooling sentiment in the rapeseed sector and news of customs inspections in some areas, short - term trading is recommended for soybean meal; rapeseed meal is more volatile, and short - term trading should be accompanied by risk prevention [36]. - Long - term: The global soybean supply is ample, limiting the sustained upward momentum of the soybean sector [37]. 3.8 Next Week's Focus and Risk Warning The focus includes the weather in production areas, trade relations, and the arrival rhythm of imported soybeans [38].
