Group 2: Resource and Military Cooperation - Trump hopes to expand China's export of rare earth elements, which are vital for the U.S. military industry, thereby fostering closer cooperation in defense [6]. - Another objective is to persuade China to halt the large-scale selling of U.S. Treasury bonds, as this behavior poses challenges for the U.S. economy and financial markets [6]. - Trump is also interested in discussing military equipment sales, with a significant military sales plan of $110 billion already approved, and a new proposal of $20 billion on the table [7]. Group 3: Diplomatic Signals - The visit serves to send a stable signal to the international community, indicating that a balanced U.S.-China relationship aligns with both nations' current interests [9]. - Despite the multiple demands, the lack of trust between the two countries suggests that cooperation will remain cautious and restrained [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The soybean meal market shows a near - strong and far - weak pattern. CBOT soybeans oscillated lower this week, while domestic soybean meal oscillated higher. The market is affected by factors such as China's soybean procurement, trade policies, and South American weather and production expectations. - The oil market is in a range - bound oscillation, with obvious characteristics of a policy - news market. Different factors impact various types of oils, including international market conditions, inventory levels, and policy changes [59]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Protein Meal Market Analysis 1.1 Market Trend - CBOT soybeans oscillated lower this week due to uncertainties in China's demand for US soybeans under the Sino - US trade truce agreement, the expected high yield of South American soybeans, and the reduction of soybean export taxes in Argentina. USDA's December report did not adjust the supply - demand of US soybeans in the 25/26 season, and subsequent Chinese purchases slightly alleviated the pessimistic export situation. Domestic soybean meal oscillated higher, with spot and near - month contracts rising, but the main contract M2605 was weak. The market showed a near - strong and far - weak pattern [6]. 1.2 US Market - Soybean Export - As of the week ending November 27, 2025, the US soybean export inspection volume was 920,194 tons. The total export inspection volume in the 2025/26 season reached 11,867,705 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 45.6%.

The oil market is in a range - bound oscillation with obvious policy - news characteristics [59]. 2.2 International Oil Information - In Indonesia, the floods in Sumatra are unlikely to significantly affect the 2025 palm oil production. The government fined palm oil and mining companies 23.1 billion US dollars for illegal operations in forest areas. In Malaysia, the palm oil production is expected to exceed 20 million tons for the first time this year. From December 1 - 10, the palm oil export volume decreased by 10.3% - 15.0% month - on - month. Germany allowed the use of grains and feed crops as biofuel raw materials, which will support the rapeseed market [62][63][64]. 2.3 Domestic Oil Situation - As of the 49th week of 2025, the total inventory of the three major edible oils in China was 2.4294 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 0.65%.

Market Outlook 3.1 Technical Analysis - For the main contracts, the short - term, medium - term, and long - term indicators of soybean meal and rapeseed meal are entangled. The short - term indicators of soybean oil are entangled, the medium - term indicators are bullish, and the long - term indicators are entangled. The short - term and medium - term indicators of palm oil are bearish, and the long - term indicators are entangled.

The next - week domestic auction volume is over 500,000 tons, and the import soybean clearance progress may affect future supply. - Oil: Internationally, the US soybean oil market is affected by US soybeans, international crude oil, and oil - meal arbitrage, waiting for the US biodiesel policy. The Malaysian palm oil inventory is high and exports are weak, and the increase in rainfall next week may affect production. Domestically, the palm oil in Dalian is under pressure from Malaysian palm oil and shows low - level oscillation, while the rapeseed oil shows intensified range - bound oscillation [124].
