Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - For sugar, after the northern hemisphere starts to finish sugar extraction in February and the negative impact of increased production is basically realized, international sugar prices may rebound. The supply of imported sugar in China is gradually decreasing, and the short - term downward space is limited. It is advisable to wait and see for now [4] - For cotton, in the medium - to - long - term, with the reduction of the new - year planting area and positive macro - economic expectations, cotton prices still have room to rise. However, due to the recent sharp increase, it needs time to adjust. It is recommended to wait for a correction before going long [9] - For protein meal, the January USDA report is slightly bearish, but the overall balance sheet is better than that of 2024/2025. China's increased purchase of US soybeans supports CBOT soybean prices but is bearish for domestic meal prices. The possible reduction of the import tax rate of Canadian rapeseed is also a significant negative factor. Protein meal prices have fallen to previous lows, and short - term volatility will increase [12] - For oils, the current fundamentals of palm oil are weak due to high production, low exports, and high inventories in major producing areas, and high domestic inventories. But in the long - term, with the expected reduction of production in Malaysia, Indonesia's confiscation of illegal plantations, and the expected increase in US biodiesel soybean oil consumption in 2026, the outlook is optimistic. It is advisable to wait and see for now [18] - For eggs, due to insufficient inventory accumulation under previous pessimistic sentiment, the spot price increase during the pre - holiday stocking period exceeded expectations, driving the short - term contract to fluctuate strongly. However, the overall supply is still abundant, and the spot price is about to reach its seasonal peak. The short - term contract may fluctuate with limited upside and downside. The long - term contract has positive expectations but with uncertain implementation paths [21] - For pigs, low prices and the festival effect have stimulated consumption, and the large price difference between fat and standard pigs has led to hoarding. After the Winter Solstice, the spot price has risen significantly, driving the futures price to rebound rationally. In the short - term, the structural contradiction remains unresolved, and the spot price has limited downward momentum, supporting the short - term contract to fluctuate strongly. In the medium - term, the large supply base and the risk of inventory accumulation may still put pressure on prices [24] Group 3: Summary by Commodity Sugar - **Market Quotes**: On Tuesday, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price fell. The closing price of the May contract was 5,188 yuan/ton, down 61 yuan/ton or 1.16% from the previous trading day.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - In 2026, the domestic and international macro - cycles may not support a trend - upward movement in agricultural products such as oils. However, the weakening of the US dollar may support commodity prices to some extent [4][21]. - Newly - expected global rapeseed oil production and consumption will both increase slightly year - on - year, and the inventory - to - consumption ratio is expected to tighten from 13.54% to 12.48%. In the 2025/2026 season, the domestic rapeseed oil supply and demand will change little compared to the previous year, and the inventory - to - consumption ratio is expected to be 21.7%, lower than 24.5% of the previous year. Rapeseed oil may enter the end of active destocking and the passive destocking phase in 2026 [4][21]. - Rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and palm oil prices are highly correlated. Rapeseed oil may be more affected by capital. In the new year, soybean oil and palm oil may show volatile trends, with opportunities in structural trading. Overall, rapeseed oil may not form a large - scale trend and will mainly operate in a volatile manner. Traders should seize structural and phased trading opportunities [4][22][23]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Global Market - **Diversified sources of rapeseed imports**: The EU, Canada, and China are the main rapeseed - producing regions, accounting for over 85% of global production. Canada is the largest exporter, the EU is a net importer, and China, as the largest consumer, relies on a large amount of imports. In recent years, China has increased imports from Russia and Australia [6]. - **Tightened inventory - to - consumption ratio of Canadian rapeseed**: In the 2025/2026 season, Canada's rapeseed production is expected to reach 21 million tons. The domestic crush volume is expected to increase to 11.75 million tons, and the ending inventory is 3 million tons. The inventory - to - consumption ratio tightens from 14.79% to 11.35% [7][8]. - **Tightened inventory - to - consumption ratio of global rapeseed oil**: In 2025/2026, global rapeseed oil production will increase to 32.06 million tons. Consumption will increase slightly, and the ending inventory will be 4.02 million tons. The inventory - to - consumption ratio tightens from 13.54% to 12.48% [9]. Domestic Rapeseed Oil - In the 2025/2026 season, the beginning inventory of rapeseed oil will increase slightly. The domestic production of rapeseed oil will decrease to 7.42 million tons due to a significant reduction in rapeseed imports. The direct import of rapeseed oil is expected to be 1.85 million tons. The total supply is expected to be 11.77 million tons, a decrease of 0.96 million tons from the previous year. The total demand is expected to slightly contract. The ending inventory is expected to be 2.1 million tons, and the inventory - to - consumption ratio is expected to be 21.7%, lower than the previous year [11][12]. Price Trends of the Oil Sector - **Soybean oil**: In 2025/2026, the global soybean supply will remain loose, but structural contradictions are prominent. The US soybean planting area is declining, Brazil's supply is abundant, and Argentina's supply faces risks from La Niña. The US biodiesel policy may boost demand but also brings uncertainties. Soybean oil may show a volatile trend, with trading opportunities in structural contradictions [17]. - **Palm oil**: In 2026, the global palm oil supply remains tight but increases slightly. Malaysia's production is flat, and Indonesia's production increases slightly. The US and Indonesia's biodiesel policies may affect demand. Palm oil will mainly show a volatile trend, with potential for structural trading opportunities [17][18].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - The estimated ending stock of US soybeans in the 2025/26 season remains at 290 million bushels, with a low inventory - consumption ratio of 6.7%, which provides some support for the downside of CBOT US soybeans. Attention should be paid to the adjustment of US soybean yield and exports in the January USDA supply - demand report [8]. - There is no obvious bullish factor in South American weather in the short term. The weather in Argentine production areas is dry recently, but the soil moisture is suitable with no obvious adverse impact for now. Brazilian soybean sowing is nearly finished, and harvesting has begun in Paraná state. With the expectation of a large Brazilian soybean harvest, the impact of the selling pressure during the January harvest on Brazilian CX premiums should be monitored. The sum of the US soybean futures price and Brazilian premiums is expected to decline, and M05 is expected to be relatively weak without special events [9]. - In China, the de - stocking of soybeans in January is expected to accelerate. Due to concerns about soybean shortages in the first quarter and extended customs inspections, downstream pre - holiday stocking is expected to be active, which supports domestic spot prices before the Spring Festival. The concentrated ownership of imported soybeans in the first quarter causes a structural supply problem in China, which supports M03. M03 - M05 is still in a positive spread in the short term, but the risk lies in policy changes. The impact of stricter customs inspection policies, the volume, price, and shipping rhythm of imported soybean auctions or directed supplies are hard to predict, so investors are advised to operate cautiously [9]. 3.

Report Overview - The report is the Agricultural Products Morning Report of Wukuang Futures on November 12, 2025, covering market information and strategy views on soybeans, oilseeds, sugar, cotton, eggs, and hogs [1][2] Market Information Soybeans and Soybean Meal - Overnight CBOT soybeans were basically stable, and the market awaited the USDA monthly report. Brazilian soybean premiums fell slightly on Tuesday, increasing the cost of imported soybeans. Domestic soybean meal spot prices were stable, with the price in East China at 2,990 yuan/ton. Soybean meal trading was weak, but pick-up was good. Chinese ports' soybean inventories exceeded 10 million tons last week due to large arrivals and a decline in the operating rate. MYSTEEL estimated that soybean crushing volume at oil mills this week would be 2.1579 million tons, up from 1.8057 million tons last week [2] - In the next two weeks, rainfall in the southeastern soybean-producing areas of Brazil will be uneven and scarce, while other areas will be normal.

According to Mutian Technology, sugar mills in Guangxi are expected to start operation as early as November 15, 7 days later than last year. As of November 9, 2025, 3 sugar mills in Yunnan had started operation in the 2025/26 season, 1 more than last year [11] Cotton - Zhengzhou cotton futures continued to fluctuate on Tuesday. The closing price of the January contract was 13,560 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan or 0.15% from the previous trading day. - The China Cotton Price Index (CCIndex) 3128B was 14,842 yuan/ton, down 2 yuan from the previous trading day.

Supply was stable, farmers sold eggs as usual, market demand was average, and downstream traders' purchasing intention weakened. It is expected that today's egg price will be stable in some areas and slightly decline in others [17] Hogs - Domestic hog prices were half stable and half falling yesterday. The average price in Henan dropped 0.21 yuan to 11.98 yuan/kg, the average price in Sichuan dropped 0.01 yuan to 11.53 yuan/kg, and the average price in Guangxi remained unchanged at 11.59 yuan/kg. Farmers were eager to sell hogs, supply was sufficient, demand showed no obvious improvement, trading was average, and today's hog prices will continue to be weak [21] Strategy Views Soybean Meal - Import costs are expected to fluctuate. China's soybean inventory is at a record high, and soybean meal inventory is large, putting pressure on crushing margins. However, as the de - stocking season approaches, there is some support. It is expected that soybean meal prices will rise in the short term following import costs, and crushing margins will recover, stimulating purchases. In the medium term, the expectation of a loose global soybean supply remains unchanged, and the strategy is to sell on rallies [4] Oils - The unexpectedly high palm oil production in Malaysia and Indonesia has suppressed the palm oil market. The recent improvement in Malaysian palm oil exports provides support, and its sustainability should be observed. The current situation of inventory accumulation due to large supply may reverse in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year. If Indonesia's high production does not continue, the de - stocking time may come earlier. If Indonesia maintains high production, palm oil will remain weak. The strategy is to view the market as range - bound and turn bullish if there are signs of production decline [9] Sugar - The recent strengthening of import controls on syrup and premixed powder has driven up Zhengzhou sugar prices, but the external market remains weak. Brazil's sugar production in the central - southern region has exceeded last year's due to a significant increase in the proportion of sugar cane used for sugar production, leading to a continuous decline in raw sugar prices. With the expected increase in production in the Northern Hemisphere's main producing countries in the 2025/26 season, the upside for raw sugar is limited, and import profits have reached a five - year high. The strategy is to wait for the rebound to weaken and then look for short - selling opportunities [12] Cotton - Fundamentally, downstream demand is weak, and the operating rate of the downstream industry chain is significantly lower than in previous years. There is also significant selling pressure from hedging due to a domestic bumper harvest this year. However, the previous decline in the futures market has digested some negative factors, and there is currently no strong driving force for the market. It is expected that cotton prices will continue to fluctuate in the short term [15] Eggs - Low replenishment and high culling rates have led to expectations of a peak and decline in egg - laying hen inventories. After the temperature drops, hoarding sentiment has increased, breaking the previous downward spiral of egg prices. With subsequent consumption themes such as the Double Eleven shopping festival and pre - holiday stocking, improved sentiment is expected to drive inventory accumulation in the market. The futures market has anticipated price increases in advance, but with a premium over the spot market, bulls are generally cautious, and the expectation of high supply still exists. It is expected that egg prices will be relatively strong in the short term, and the strategy is to wait and see or engage in short - term trading. In the medium term, pay attention to the upper resistance and wait for short - selling opportunities [19] Hogs - The recent rebound in hog prices was mainly driven by frozen pork storage and second - fattening. The subsequent supply generated by these factors, together with the basic supply and future pre - supply, will create a bearish pattern of high slaughter volume and large hog weights before the Spring Festival. With an oversupply, the long - term strategy is to sell on rallies. However, the current situation of low prices and high open interest has created a game - like market, and there may be a short - term rebound. Considering the large near - term supply and the expectation of capacity reduction in the long term, the recommended strategy is to first engage in reverse arbitrage and then wait for rallies to sell short [22]
