1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The short - term upward trend of palm oil slows down due to inventory accumulation in Malaysia, but the medium - to - long - term trend continues. In the producing areas, the MPOB reported a 0.73% decrease in September palm oil production, a 7.69% increase in exports, and a 7.2% increase in inventory in Malaysia. From January to August, Indonesia's cumulative exports of crude and refined palm oil increased by 13.56% year - on - year, and the reference price of crude palm oil in October was raised to $963.61 per ton. In July, the consumption of US soybean oil in the biodiesel sector was 1.108 billion pounds, and about 9% of Brazil's soybeans were sown. In China, downstream replenishment after the holiday led to good spot sales of soybean oil, but the supply of soybean oil is expected to increase as oil mills resume operations. During the long holiday, 8 new palm oil cargoes were purchased for October - December [7]. - As of September 1, the old - crop soybean inventory in the US decreased by 8% year - on - year, and the biodiesel consumption of soybean oil continued to increase. However, the lack of improvement in US soybean exports to China and the fast - paced sowing in Brazil suppressed the trend of US soybeans. In the short term, CBOT soybeans will continue to fluctuate around 1000. The MPOB report had a negative impact as the decrease in Malaysia's September palm oil production was less than expected, exports increased, and the ending inventory increased more than expected. Indonesia's palm oil exports increased significantly from January to August, the implementation of B40 is progressing well, and the implementation of B50 in the second half of 2026 will drive further growth in palm oil consumption. With strong demand, Indonesia's palm oil inventory remains at a low level. India imported 833,000 tons of palm oil in September, and the absolute volume is still high. After Argentina cancelled the export tax on soy products, which caused a correction in global palm oil prices, China and India made purchases at low prices. It is highly likely that the exports from the producing areas will remain strong in October. Overall, there are both positive and negative factors in the short term in the producing areas, but there is still support in the medium - to - long - term [7]. - In terms of operations, the inventory accumulation in Malaysia and the strong demand in Indonesia are in a game. The upward trend of palm oil at home and abroad is under pressure in the short term, but the medium - to - long - term trend remains unchanged. Ordinary investors should continue to hold long positions in palm oil at low levels and cautiously go long on dips in the medium - to - long - term. Enterprises with low inventory are advised to establish virtual positions by buying call options [8]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - In September, CBOT soybeans and soybean oil fluctuated weakly, with support levels at 1000 and 50 respectively. Malaysian palm oil fluctuated slightly downward in September, and recovered the previous decline at the beginning of October and approached the previous high again. In China, the trends of soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil diverged in September. In early October, soybean oil and palm oil made up for the previous decline [10]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis 3.2.1 Recent Policy Review of Soybean - Related Producing Areas - Argentina temporarily cancelled the export tax on grains and by - products (including soybeans, soybean oil, and soybean meal) from September 22 to October 31 or until the export volume reached $7 billion. The previous export tariffs on soybeans and derivatives were 26% and 24.5% respectively. Due to the sales reaching the $7 - billion limit on September 24, Argentina resumed the export tax [14]. - The US government shutdown led to the suspension of some USDA reports.

As of September 26, the soybean inventory in oil mills was 7.12 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 370,000 tons and a year - on - year increase of 14% [50]. - Due to the shortage of rapeseed raw materials, the crushing rate of rapeseed oil mills continued to decline in September, with the weekly crushing volume dropping to a minimum of 20,000 tons and the monthly crushing volume about 170,000 tons, lower than 220,000 tons in August [54]. - As of early October, the soybean oil inventory was stable at around 1.25 million tons, the rapeseed oil inventory decreased rapidly to around 600,000 tons, the palm oil inventory dropped to 580,000 tons, a decrease of 85,000 tons from the previous high, and the total inventory of the three major oils was 2.34 million tons, compared with 1.98 million tons in the same period last year [57]. 3.2.13 Domestic Oil Spot Price and Transaction - In September, the spot prices of oils showed a divergent trend.
