1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term prices of soybean - related futures will maintain a weakly oscillating pattern, with far - month contracts being weaker. The short - term price of palm oil futures has turned to weakly oscillating. [5][6][7] 3. Summary by Variety 3.1. Soybean Meal (M) - **Price Trend**: Short - term: weakly oscillating; Medium - term: oscillating; Intraday: weakly oscillating; Reference view: weakly oscillating. [5] - **Core Logic**: Last night, the price of US soybean futures rebounded from a low level due to improved export demand. Argentina's reduction of export tariffs on soybeans and their products may enhance its export competitiveness and squeeze the market share of US soybeans. Despite the USDA report keeping the 2025/26 US soybean ending stocks at 290 million bushels, there are still concerns about South American supply pressure. The domestic market shows conflicting signals. Spot prices have stopped falling, but the expectation of accelerated customs clearance for imported soybeans has intensified the expectation of loose long - term supply. Near - month contracts are relatively resistant to decline, while the cost support for far - month contracts is significantly weakened. [5][6] 3.2. Palm Oil (P) - **Price Trend**: Short - term: weakly oscillating; Medium - term: oscillating; Intraday: weakly oscillating; Reference view: weakly oscillating. [7] - **Core Logic**: The MPOB report shows that Malaysia's palm oil inventory at the end of November soared 13% month - on - month to 2.84 million tons, far exceeding market expectations and reaching a six - and - a - half - year high, mainly due to a cliff - like 28.1% decline in exports to 1.213 million tons. Domestic palm oil inventory has accumulated to 719,000 tons due to increased imports and weakening demand. Overall demand is lower than expected, with the growth rate of catering consumption slowing down and the procurement volume of small - package oils down 15% year - on - year. The narrowing of the soybean - palm oil price spread to 500 yuan/ton has suppressed the blending demand for palm oil. The domestic palm oil market is currently in a stage dominated by "weak reality", and the process of destocking high inventory determines the price movement center. The sentiment in the oil market has weakened. In the future, attention should be paid to Indonesia's biodiesel policy trends and the procurement rhythm of major importing countries. [7]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - International aspect: Sino-US trade conflict has escalated again, and China has not purchased US soybeans. There are concerns about soybean procurement during the APEC meeting at the end of the month. China's large - scale procurement from Argentina has narrowed the supply gap from November to January. The US government shutdown has led to a suspension of data release, and the market expects a slight reduction in the US soybean yield per acre in the October USDA report. Brazil's continuous precipitation is conducive to sowing [3][76]. - Domestic aspect: As of the end of September, the procurement progress of soybean shipments from November to January is different. If no soybean procurement agreement is reached between China and the US, policy adjustments will be concerned. After the holiday, the oil - mill crushing rate is expected to gradually recover, and the domestic supply peak may occur in October, with sufficient current spot supply [3][76]. - Outlook: Brazil's precipitation is beneficial for sowing. The US soybean yield may be adjusted downwards, but it is under pressure due to harvesting and weak export demand. There are still procurement gaps from November to January in China. Pay attention to the Sino - US negotiation during the APEC meeting and policy - end soybean release. After the holiday, the oil - mill operation rate will recover, and the supply is generally loose, with spot prices under pressure. The Dalian soybean meal futures are expected to fluctuate in October [3][77]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Market Review of Soybean Meal - Since September, soybean meal has shown a weakening trend. By the end of September, the 01 - contract of soybean meal, South China's spot price, and the CBOT November - contract of US soybeans all declined. In the first half of August, the price fluctuated slightly due to sufficient domestic soybean arrivals, high oil - mill operation rates, and concerns about future supply. In the second half of September, it declined due to Sino - US trade sentiment and China's large - scale procurement from Argentina [9]. 2. International Aspect 2.1 Global Soybean Supply and Demand - According to the USDA September report, the global soybean production in 2025/2026 is 425.88 million tons, a decrease of 520,000 tons from the previous month's estimate. The global crushing demand is 366.63 million tons, a decrease of 1.08 million tons. The ending inventory is 123.99 million tons, a decrease of 910,000 tons, with a stock - to - consumption ratio of 29.25% [15]. 2.2 US Soybean Supply and Demand - The September USDA report is slightly bearish.
