1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core Views - The current focus of soybean meal futures trading is on the weakening spot market with significant north - south differences. Domestic soybean inventories in oil mills are decreasing, while soybean meal inventories are rising as downstream procurement is completed. The US soybean market is strong in the short - term due to US procurement statements and biodiesel policies. The domestic soybean meal market is expected to rebound in the short - term following US soybean costs but may be constrained by new supplies in the far - month contracts [1]. - Rapeseed meal is weak due to rumors of increased Canadian rapeseed imports and the start of Australian rapeseed crushing. Its independent upward trend is difficult to sustain despite low valuations [1]. - In the near - term, the supply of soybeans is seasonally decreasing, while demand from feed mills is at a high level. In the long - term, the cost of soybeans remains firm, but import profits are slightly falling. The supply of rapeseed meal is expected to recover, and South American soybean production is likely to be abundant, which will put pressure on domestic meal prices [5][8]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations - **Core Contradictions** - **Soybean Meal**: Spot prices are weakening with large north - south differences. Domestic oil mill soybean inventories are down, but soybean meal inventories are up as downstream procurement is finished. The US soybean market is strong in the short - term, and the domestic market may follow in the short - term but face supply constraints in the far - month [1]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: Rumors of Canadian rapeseed imports and the start of Australian rapeseed crushing have led to a weak market. Independent upward trends are hard to sustain due to limited pre - holiday demand [1]. - **Trading Strategy Recommendations** - **Base - price Strategy**: Unpriced basis should be priced after the decline in Brazilian premiums in March next year. For priced basis, be cautious of pre - holiday sales. After the Lunar New Year, consider fixed - price purchases [17]. - **Spread Strategy**: Exit the M3 - 5 spread reverse arbitrage [17]. - **Hedging Arbitrage Strategy**: Expand the spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal 2605 contracts, expecting it to return to a normal range [17]. - **Industry Customer Operation Recommendations** - **Price Range Forecast**: Soybean meal is expected to be in the range of 2800 - 3300 yuan/ton with a 20 - day rolling volatility of 9.4% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 6.0%. Rapeseed meal is expected to be in the range of 2250 - 2750 yuan/ton with a volatility of 13.5% and a historical percentile of 10.8% [19]. - **Hedging Strategy**: Traders with high protein inventories can short soybean meal futures to lock in profits. Feed mills with low inventory can buy soybean meal futures to lock in procurement costs. Oil mills worried about excessive imports can short soybean meal futures [19]. - **Basic Data Overview** - **Futures Prices**: The closing prices, daily changes, and percentage changes of soybean meal and rapeseed meal futures contracts are provided, along with the prices and changes of CBOT soybeans, the offshore RMB, and various spreads [20]. - **Import Costs and Pressing Profits**: The import costs and pressing profits of US Gulf and Brazilian soybeans, as well as Canadian rapeseed, are presented [21][23]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Focus Events - **This Week's Important Information** - **Positive Information**: The Brazilian soybean harvest progress is 16% as of February 5. Recent rainfall in Brazil is beneficial for the remaining soybeans. Argentina is expected to have more rainfall, which may improve the situation. The US Treasury issued rules for biofuel tax credits [23][24]. - **Negative Information**: High US soybean prices may attract new - season planting. Brazilian and Argentine harvest progress is ahead of last year. The US reported a sale of 264,000 tons of soybeans to China. Trump said China may increase soybean purchases [24][25]. - **Spot Transaction Information**: Downstream near - month physical inventories are at a high level, and far - month basis transactions are active, but the near - month basis is uncertain [25]. - **Next Week's Important Events** - USDA export inspection report, domestic weekly inventory data, and Brazilian Secex weekly report on Monday [29] - USDA monthly supply - demand report [29] - USDA export sales report on Thursday [31] - CFTC agricultural positions on Saturday [31] 3.3 Disk Interpretation - **Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation** - **Domestic Market**: The domestic soybean meal market is oscillating weakly at the valuation bottom, and rapeseed meal's rebound is limited. The capital flow shows a bearish sentiment in the soybean meal options market. The futures spreads of soybean meal and rapeseed meal maintain a B - structure, and the 3 - 5 spreads are weakening. The basis of both is also weakening [30][36][40]. - **Foreign Market**: The US soybean market rose sharply due to China's potential purchase but was suppressed by Brazil's high - yield prospects. The CFTC data shows that managed funds are turning bullish, but less so than last time [52][57]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis - **Production Area Profit Tracking**: The crushing profits in the US soybean production area are slightly rising, while those in Brazil are slightly falling due to increased freight. Argentina's crushing profits are rising, and Canada's rapeseed crushing profits are slightly increasing [61]. - **Import - Export and Pressing Profit Tracking**: Simple valuation based on import prices may be ineffective in the first quarter. Chinese procurement of US soybeans is less economical than that of Brazilian soybeans. The import - pressing profits of Canadian rapeseed are weakening, and those of Australian rapeseed are negative [67]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction - **International Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction** - **US**: The upcoming 2 - month USDA report is expected to be bearish, with little adjustment to the supply side and possible reduction in demand or no adjustment to exports and an increase in crushing. The ending stocks are expected to remain around 300 million bushels. However, if China purchases 800,000 tons of US soybeans, the ending stocks may drop significantly. The crushing volume is likely to increase [91][92]. - **South America**: The 2 - month USDA report is expected to slightly reduce Argentina's production due to drought, slightly increase or keep unchanged Brazil's production, and slightly increase Paraguay's production. South America is expected to have a bumper harvest [93]. - **Domestic Supply - Side Deduction**: The arrival of imported soybeans in the second quarter of next year will put pressure on the M05 contract. The supply pressure is expected to return after the second quarter [94]. - **Domestic Demand - Side Deduction**: The domestic soybean supply in the first quarter is relatively abundant, and the crushing volume is expected to remain high. The consumption of soybean meal is unlikely to increase significantly after the previous high - level procurement [98]. - **Domestic Inventory - Side Deduction**: The domestic soybean inventory is at a seasonal high but will decline in the first quarter. The soybean meal inventory will also show a seasonal decline, reaching a minimum of about 500,000 tons at the end of the first quarter next year [100].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. Core Views - The trading focus of the domestic soybean meal futures lies in whether the 53 bushels per acre yield of US soybeans will continue to decline and whether China's purchase of 12 million tons of US soybeans will be fulfilled. If the US soybean inventory remains around 300 million bushels, the annual price of US soybeans will oscillate around the cost line, and the domestic soybean meal futures will lack a clear trend in the short term and follow the US market. In the medium term, the shipment schedule of China's US soybean purchases will determine the domestic supply situation [1]. - Rapeseed meal will maintain a weak supply - demand situation in the fourth quarter. With the depletion of rapeseed and rapeseed meal inventories, the market is weak due to the expected supply recovery after Australian rapeseed arrives in November. As it is the off - season for aquaculture, demand growth is limited, and inventories are expected to rise. The timing of going long after November depends on subsequent changes in warehouse receipts [1]. - In the short term, the near - month soybean meal market is affected by high inventory levels at ports and oil mills, a slight increase in oil mill crushing volume, and limited downstream purchasing sentiment. The approaching expiration of warehouse receipts is also influencing the market. In the long term, the cost of distant - month soybeans is firm, import profits have slightly recovered, but the supply of distant - month purchases is limited. The easing of Sino - US trade relations is expected to fill the supply gap, and the demand for rapeseed meal is expected to weaken. The downstream demand for rapeseed meal is expected to decline slightly in the fourth quarter, and the potential for a bumper harvest in South America will put pressure on the domestic rapeseed meal market [5][8]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - **Soybean Meal**: The trading focus of the outer - market US soybeans is on the supply - side yield and the demand - side China's purchase. The domestic soybean meal lacks a clear trend in the short term and is affected by China's purchase schedule in the medium term [1]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: It is in a weak supply - demand situation in the fourth quarter. The market is weak due to expected supply recovery and limited demand growth. The timing of going long depends on warehouse receipts [1]. 1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: The market is expected to oscillate within a range. The M2601 contract is expected to oscillate between 2800 - 3200, and it is difficult to break through this range [16]. - **Strategy Suggestions**: Consider covered call strategies using options, hold previously sold call options on rapeseed meal 2601, and go short at the upper end of the range for those without positions [16]. - **Basis, Spread, and Arbitrage Strategies**: Use accumulated option purchases to reduce basis risk, expect the M1 - 5 spread to stop falling around 170, and contract the spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal 2601 at high levels (650, 700) [17]. 1.3 Industry Customer Operation Suggestions - **Price Range Forecast**: The price of soybean meal is expected to be between 2800 - 3300, and rapeseed meal between 2250 - 2750 [19]. - **Hedging Strategies**: Traders with high protein inventories can short soybean meal futures to lock in profits; feed mills with low inventories can buy soybean meal futures to lock in purchase costs; oil mills worried about excessive imports can short soybean meal futures to lock in profits [19]. 1.4 Basic Data Overview - **Futures Prices**: Provide closing prices, daily changes, and percentage changes of soybean meal, rapeseed meal, CBOT soybeans, and the offshore RMB [20]. - **Spreads and Basis**: Include spreads between different contracts of soybean meal and rapeseed meal, as well as basis data for spot prices [21]. - **Import Costs and Crushing Profits**: Present import costs and crushing profits of soybeans and rapeseed from different origins [22]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Focus Events 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive News**: The US Secretary of Agriculture expects to announce a farmer assistance program and a China - US soybean purchase agreement in two weeks. The USDA export inspection report shows the export inspection volume of US soybeans, and private US exporters have reported multiple sales of soybeans to China [24][25]. - **Negative News**: The soybean sowing progress in Argentina is delayed, and Brazil's soybean exports in November have increased [26]. - **Spot Transaction Information**: Downstream buyers continue to purchase on a need - to - use basis [26]. 2.2 Next Week's Focus Events - Monitor domestic weekly inventory data, Brazilian Secex weekly reports, USDA crop growth reports, export inspection reports, export sales reports, and CFTC agricultural product position reports [32]. Chapter 3: Market Interpretation 3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - **Domestic Market** - **Unilateral Trends**: The domestic soybean meal futures followed the outer - market trend, falling first and then rising. Rapeseed meal rose first and then fell due to news of Australian rapeseed imports [31]. - **Capital Movements**: The main profitable positions in soybean meal and rapeseed meal are hedging or institutional short positions. Foreign capital has closed long positions, and institutional positions have reduced short positions and increased long positions. The put - call ratio of soybean meal options indicates a bearish sentiment in the market [31]. - **Spread Structure**: The spread between different contracts of soybean meal and rapeseed meal shows a seasonal pattern. This week, the 1 - 5 spread of soybean meal weakened, and the same is true for rapeseed meal [36]. - **Basis Structure**: The basis of soybean meal remained stable, while the basis of rapeseed meal declined. The spot spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal narrowed. The far - month basis is inversely related to the crushing profit, and the basis is expected to decline [41]. - **Foreign Market** - **Foreign Trends**: This week, the outer - market US soybeans rebounded due to Sino - US negotiations and potential soybean purchases, but the increase was limited by EUDR and the US soybean oil government restructuring [52]. - **Capital Positions**: The net managed positions in CBOT soybeans have returned above the zero line, indicating a short - term return of long - only funds [58]. Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Production Area Profit Tracking - The crushing profit in the US soybean production area has increased due to the decline in soybean prices and the rise in soybean oil and soybean meal prices. The profit in the Brazilian production area has also increased, while the profit in the Argentine production area has weakened. The domestic crushing profit of Canadian rapeseed has remained stable due to the rise in rapeseed prices [64]. 4.2 Import - Export Crushing Profit Tracking - Despite the recent rebound in US soybeans, crushing profits have not improved effectively. The rebound in US soybean prices has offset the decline in the premium of Brazilian and Argentine soybeans, and it is difficult to obtain profitable commercial purchases. The acceleration of non - commercial purchases of distant - month US soybeans may lead to supply pressure, and the pricing method based on cost or profit may be temporarily invalid [68]. - Although rapeseed imports show a crushing profit, the purchase of rapeseed is expected to remain cautious due to import margin requirements [69]. Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projection 5.1 International Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projection - **US**: The estimated US soybean production in November is 4.3 billion bushels, a decrease of 48 million bushels from the September forecast, mainly due to a decline in yield. Exports are expected to decrease by 50 million bushels, while crushing volume remains unchanged. The ending inventory is expected to decline slightly, and the average farm price is expected to increase by $0.50 per bushel to $10.50 [72][73]. - **Global**: In 2025/26, the global soybean supply - demand forecast shows a decline in beginning stocks and production, a decrease in crushing volume, a slight increase in exports, and a decline in ending stocks. The decrease in ending stocks in Argentina, Brazil, the US, the EU, Ukraine, and India is partially offset by the increase in China's inventory [75][76]. 5.2 Domestic Supply and Projection - The import volume of soybeans is expected to decline seasonally in the second half of the fourth quarter, mainly due to the loss of crushing profits and the difficulty of fully purchasing US soybeans through commercial channels. Rapeseed imports will remain at a low level [77]. 5.3 Domestic Demand and Projection - Domestic soybean crushing volume is expected to remain high due to the carry - over inventory from the third quarter and the fourth - quarter imports. However, the consumption of soybean meal is expected to have limited growth after the previous high - level stocking [79]. 5.4 Domestic Inventory and Projection - Domestic soybean inventories are at a seasonal high but are expected to decline in the fourth quarter and stabilize and rebound in the first quarter of next year. The inventory of soybean meal is also expected to decline with the reduction of raw material inventory and crushing volume and remain at around 600,000 tons in the first quarter of next year [81].
