Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - Last week, BMD Malaysian palm oil futures and domestic palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil futures all declined, with CBOT US soybean oil futures dropping significantly due to difficulties in redistributing 1.39 billion gallons of RIN to large refineries and potential policy adjustments [4][7]. - Affected by the weakening external market, the domestic commodity market continued to decline and adjust, with a generally weak sentiment.

The US dollar index continued to fluctuate, and oil prices were also in a fluctuating state.

Malaysian palm oil is currently in a peak production period, but high - frequency data shows that the overall supply pressure is not large, which may support prices. In the short term, palm oil prices may decline and adjust [4][10].
