Report Summary 1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The USDA's January supply - demand report maintained the 2025/26 US soybean yield at 53 bushels per acre, higher than market expectations, further reduced US soybean exports to 1.575 billion bushels, and increased the 2025/26 ending inventory estimate to 350 million bushels, with the US soybean stock - to - consumption ratio rising to 8.2%. The report also expected Brazil's 2025/26 soybean production to be 178 million tons, higher than market expectations, kept Argentina's soybean production unchanged, and raised the global soybean ending inventory to 124.1 million tons, all of which were bearish. The US soybean quarterly inventory report showed that the December quarterly inventory was 3.29 billion bushels, higher than market expectations, also bearish [10]. - In the short term, there is no obvious weather - driven speculation. With Brazil starting the harvest, the impact of the January harvest pressure on Brazil's CNF premiums should be monitored. The USDA report is bearish, and the harvest pressure under the South American bumper harvest is expected to be gradually reflected in Brazil's CNF premiums. The domestic market is expected to fluctuate weakly [10]. - In the first quarter, the concentrated ownership of imported soybeans in China brings structural issues, which may change the downstream sentiment before the Spring Festival, supporting the pre - holiday spot price trend. However, the uncertainty of China's soybean selling policy may affect the March - May spread [10]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The strengthening of US soybean oil drives the rebound of US soybeans, but the performance of US soybeans is still expected to be under pressure. With favorable weather in South America and the expectation of a bumper harvest in Brazilian soybeans, there will be selling pressure later. Recently, the futures market fluctuates following reserve - related rumors, and the 005 contract is expected to remain relatively weak in the later period. Attention should be paid to domestic customs policies and reserve auctions [7]. - In the short - term, livestock and poultry are expected to maintain high inventory, supporting feed demand. However, current breeding profits are in the red, and national policies tend to control the inventory and weight of pigs, which may affect the supply in the far - month. The cost - effectiveness of soybean meal has decreased [6][7]. 3. Summary by Related Content Market Data - On December 23, the basis of the soybean meal main contract in Dalian was 395, down 4; in Rizhao it was 335, down 4; in Tianjin it was 355, down 4.

Supply Situation - According to CONAB data, the predicted output of new Brazilian soybeans in the 25/26 season will reach 177.6 million tons. As of December 5, the sowing rate of Brazilian soybeans was 90.3%. As of December 3, the sowing progress of Argentine soybeans was 44.7%. Short - term weather is favorable. There are concerns about the supply of soybeans and soybean meal in the first quarter of next year in China due to rumored customs delays. Domestic imported soybeans have started to be auctioned with high premium [6]. Demand Situation - Livestock and poultry are expected to maintain high inventory in the short - term, supporting feed demand. However, breeding profits are in the red, and national policies tend to control the inventory and weight of pigs, which may affect the far - month supply. The cost - effectiveness of soybean meal has decreased. Recently, the downstream transactions of soybean meal are normal, and the提货 performance is good [6][7]. Inventory Situation - Domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories are at historically high levels, and the inventory of soybean meal is being depleted slowly. The pressure of spot supply is still large. It is expected that the inventory will be depleted more quickly from December to January. This week, the number of days of soybean meal inventory in feed enterprises has increased [7].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint indicates that the soda ash main contract rose by 2.14% to 1193.00 CNY/ton, driven by optimistic market sentiment due to multiple ministries promoting "anti-involution" [1] - On the supply side, soda ash production has slightly increased, but long-term supply pressure remains significant due to new capacity coming online. Current prices are low, and with rising costs, it is expected that soda plants will have a strong willingness to undergo maintenance, potentially leading to a decline in production [1] - On the demand side, the production of photovoltaic glass remained stable month-on-month, while float glass production decreased, leading to expectations of increased cold repairs for float glass and pressure on soda ash demand [1] Group 2 - Overall, there is an expectation of weakening demand for heavy soda ash, while light soda ash demand remains relatively stable. Downstream replenishment has led to a continuous decline in soda plant inventories, and with upcoming maintenance, supply may decrease, alleviating short-term inventory pressure [1] - The current focus should be on cost support, as the price of thermal coal is weakening under supply assurance, which is expected to lower soda ash costs, suggesting a volatile outlook [1] - According to Everbright Futures, the spot market prices are mostly stable, with the price of heavy soda ash in the Shahe region at 1137 CNY/ton, down 6 CNY/ton day-on-day. The supply level of soda ash remains stable at a low level, with an industry operating rate of 82.05% [3]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Short - term focus on China's purchase of US soybeans, which may support US soybean prices. Without obvious weather issues, the market is expected to shift to trading the supply pressure of South American new crops from December to January. The new - crop discount trend may drag down the soybean meal futures pricing. It is recommended to short M05 on rallies [7]. 3. Summary by Related Content Supply - CONB predicts that Brazil's new - crop soybean output in the 25/26 season will reach 177.6 million tons. As of November 15, the soybean sowing rate in Brazil was 69.0% (compared to 58.4% last week, 73.8% in the same period last year, and a five - year average of 67.2%). As of November 13, the soybean planting rate in Argentina for the 2025/26 season was 15% (7% last week and 25% last year). There is a risk of relatively dry weather in southern Brazil and northern Argentina in the next few weeks, and the impact of the weak La Nina weather pattern should be monitored. Domestic soybean meal is expected to see inventory reduction from November to December, but the supply in the fourth quarter is still expected to be loose. The purchasing progress for December - January shipments is slow, and the supply gap in the first quarter of next year is uncertain [6]. Demand - Livestock and poultry are expected to maintain high inventory levels in the short term, which supports feed demand. However, current breeding profits are in the red, and national policies tend to control pig inventory and weight, which may affect future supply. Soybean meal has relatively high cost - effectiveness, and recent downstream long - term contracts for soybean meal have seen high trading volumes with good提货 performance [7]. Inventory - Domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories are at historically high levels for the same period and are expected to decline from November to December. The number of days of soybean meal inventory for feed enterprises has dropped to a low level [7].
