Report Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is oscillating and strengthening [3] Core Viewpoints - Short - term: Due to the increasing expectation of Fed rate cuts and the positive USDA report, the futures market oscillated and rebounded, and the 09 contract successfully reduced its positions. Next week, the market will mainly show an oscillating or rebounding trend. Attention should be paid to the results of the meeting between Trump and Putin on August 15th and its impact on the international situation. There are no other major domestic or international macro - events. The CF2509 contract should be watched in the range of [13560 - 13930], and the CF2601 contract in the range of [13920 - 14300] [5] - Medium - term: The long and short positions of the 09 futures contract were closed quickly and are almost stable. The probability of a US rate cut in September has risen significantly to over 90%. With the upcoming new cotton listing, the psychological expectation of ginneries for machine - picked cotton purchase is 6 - 6.3 yuan/ton. The pre - sale volume of new cotton has increased significantly compared with last year, about 1.5 million tons, which supports the price of newly - listed seed cotton, and the initial price is slightly higher. Additionally, with the approaching "Golden September and Silver October", there is a possibility of support or rebound in futures prices [5] - Long - term: Currently, the purchase price of hand - picked cotton in Kashgar is 7 - 7.3 yuan/ton, and the pre - sale price of cottonseed is 2.26 - 2.4 yuan/kg. The psychological expectation of ginneries for machine - picked cotton purchase is 6 - 6.3 yuan/ton, and they are cautious about prices higher than this. Comparing with the current price of the 2601 contract at 14100 - 14200 yuan/ton, farmers can make a profit. This year, the yield per unit has increased. For farmers who lease land, they can break even by selling at 6.66 yuan/ton (including the target subsidy, and it is expected that this year's subsidy will decrease to 0.6 - 0.7 yuan/kg). So, a seed cotton delivery price of 6 yuan/kg can ensure break - even. Also, the pre - sale volume of new cotton has increased significantly compared with last year, about 1.5 million tons, which supports the price of newly - listed seed cotton, and the initial price is slightly higher. During this period, the market is expected to oscillate or may have a rebound opportunity, with support at 13600 - 13700 and resistance at 14300 - 14600. After October, the price is expected to decline, and next year it is expected to oscillate and strengthen [5] Summary by Directory 01 - Weekly Viewpoint - Cotton - Short - term: The futures market will oscillate or rebound next week. Pay attention to the meeting between Trump and Putin on August 15th. The CF2509 contract should be watched in the [13560 - 13930] range, and the CF2601 contract in the [13920 - 14300] range [5] - Medium - term: The 09 contract is almost stable. The probability of a US rate cut in September is over 90%. New cotton pre - sale volume has increased, and the approaching "Golden September and Silver October" may support futures prices [5] - Long - term: Current purchase prices of different types of cotton are given. New cotton pre - sale volume has increased. The market may oscillate or rebound, with support and resistance levels provided. After October, the price may decline, and next year it may oscillate and strengthen [5] 02 - Weekly Viewpoint - Cotton Yarn - This week, Zhengzhou cotton oscillated and rebounded. The cotton yarn market's trading improved with the gradual recovery of downstream demand. Spinning mills' quotes were mainly stable, with some local preferential sales. Some traders' low - price sales decreased slightly. Air - jet spun and regular varieties were mainly for rigid demand. In terms of profit, as cotton prices stabilized, profit performance gradually became stable. Currently, inland spinning mills' C32S cash - flow loss is about 500 yuan/ton, while Xinjiang spinning mills still have a small profit. Overall, enterprises still face challenges of compressed processing profit and inventory pressure. The short - term market may continue to oscillate, following the cotton market but under greater pressure [7] 03 - Market Review - Cotton market: This week, the cotton market oscillated and strengthened, and the spot market remained strong. The main futures contract oscillated and adjusted. Although the overall commodity market was optimistic, the downstream procurement enthusiasm was still poor, and cotton prices were relatively stable [11] - Cotton yarn market: This week, the cotton yarn spot market remained stable, and the futures market oscillated and strengthened. The downstream still faced insufficient demand and production reduction. Enterprises' profit pressure was relatively large [11] 04 - International Macro - Multiple important economic data of the US and the Eurozone from August 1st to 20th, 2025 are presented, including unemployment rate, non - farm payrolls, trade balance, CPI, PPI, GDP, etc. [13] 05 - Domestic Macro - Multiple important economic data of China from August 7th to 20th, 2025 are presented, including foreign exchange reserves, CPI, PPI, fixed - asset investment, retail sales, and unemployment rate [15] 06 - Global Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - According to the USDA's August global cotton supply - demand forecast report, in the 2025/26 season, global cotton production, consumption, and import - export trade volume were all adjusted down month - on - month, and the ending inventory decreased month - on - month. In the 2024/25 season, global cotton production was expected to be adjusted down, consumption to be increased, and exports to be decreased. With the reduction of the beginning inventory, the ending inventory in the 2024/25 season decreased again [16] 07 - Domestic Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - 2024/25 season: The beginning inventory was 6.81 million tons, the national production was 6.85 million tons, and the annual import volume was adjusted down to 1.03 million tons. The monthly cotton consumption decreased month - on - month but increased year - on - year, and the annual cotton consumption was expected to be increased by 50,000 tons to 8.05 million tons. The total demand increased by 50,000 tons to 8.45 million tons, and the ending inventory was adjusted down by 120,000 tons to 6.24 million tons [18][22] - 2025/26 season: The beginning inventory was adjusted down by 120,000 tons to 6.24 million tons. Xinjiang's production increased by 120,000 tons to 6.59 million tons, and inland production decreased by 3,000 tons to about 310,000 tons.

From September 2024 to June 2025, China had cumulatively imported about 1.17 million tons of cotton yarn, a year - on - year decrease of 18.18% [32] 11 - Cotton Yarn Production and Sales in July - In July, with the further reduction of spinning mills' operation rate, production continued to decline. The production of pure cotton yarn (excluding recycled yarn) in July was 434,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 12.1% and a month - on - month decrease of 3.2%. From January to July, the cumulative production of pure cotton yarn was 3.004 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.6%. July is still the traditional off - season for spinning mills. The downstream market showed some differentiation. From the perspective of operation rate and orders, the knitting market's orders increased slightly, and the operation rate rebounded slightly but remained at a low level. The operation rate of the weaving market mostly decreased. It is initially estimated that the consumption of pure cotton yarn (excluding recycled yarn) in July 2025 was 503,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.7% and a month - on - month decrease of 0.8%. From January to July, the cumulative consumption was 3.592 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 5.9% [36] 12 - US Cotton Growth - As of August 10, the budding rate of cotton in 15 major cotton - growing states in the US was 93%, 2 percentage points slower than last year and 1 percentage point slower than the five - year average. The boll - setting rate was 65%, 7 percentage points slower than last year and 6 percentage points slower than the five - year average. The boll - opening rate was 8%, 4 percentage points slower than last year and 2 percentage points slower than the five - year average. The good - to - excellent rate was 53%, 7 percentage points higher than last year and 8 percentage points higher than the five - year average. The growth progress of US cotton was slower than last year and the five - year average, and the good - to - excellent rate decreased slightly month - on - month but was still much higher than the historical average [39] 13 - US Cotton Weather - As of August 12, the drought degree and coverage index of the main US cotton - growing areas (93.0%) was 50, an increase of 8 month - on - month and a decrease of 18 year - on - year. The drought degree and coverage index of Texas was 66, an increase of 2 month - on - month and a decrease of 26 year - on - year. The drought level in the main US cotton - growing areas rebounded, and that in Texas was basically stable month - on - month. In the past two weeks, the main growing areas and Texas had high temperatures and little rain, so the drought seasonally rebounded. Currently, the impact is not significant, and attention should be paid to whether the weather will continue to deteriorate [43] 14 - Xinjiang Cotton Growth - As of August 11, 2025, Xinjiang's cotton growth had entered the late boll - setting stage. Affected by continuous high - temperature weather in some cotton areas, the boll - setting rate of upper fruit branches was low, and the number of top bolls decreased. The average number of bolls was 8.4, a decrease of 0.2 from the previous week. Among them, the average number of bolls in southern Xinjiang was 8.3, a decrease of 0.2; in northern Xinjiang, it was 8.4, a decrease of 0.4; in eastern Xinjiang, it was 8.4, the same as last week. This year, the number of pre - summer bolls increased by about 1 - 2 compared with last year. If proper management is carried out in the later stage to increase the number of autumn bolls and prevent cotton field premature aging, most cotton farmers are optimistic about this year's cotton yield increase, with an expected increase of 15 - 30 kg. Currently, cotton in some areas of southern and eastern Xinjiang has begun to open bolls, about 5 - 10 days earlier than last year. Cotton field management is coming to an end, and the supply of water and fertilizer is gradually decreasing. According to the survey, some cotton fields plan to stop irrigation around August 20 and start spraying defoliants around September 5. The new cotton picking time will be about 10 days earlier than in previous years [45] 15 - Textile Industry Inventory - In June, the textile industry's inventory was 401.53 billion yuan, a month - on - month increase of 0.30% and a year - on - year increase of 1.12%.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Last week, the CBOT November soybean contract rose 56.25 to close at 1042.75 cents per bushel, a 5.7% increase; the soybean meal 09 contract rose 38 to close at 3083 yuan per ton, a 1.25% increase; the South China soybean meal spot price rose 60 to close at 2980 yuan per ton, a 2.05% increase; the rapeseed meal 09 contract fell 124 to close at 2649 yuan per ton; the Guangxi rapeseed meal spot price fell 90 to close at 2530 yuan per ton, a 3.44% decrease [4]. - The US soybeans rebounded significantly from the weekly low. The main reasons were that the August report unexpectedly cut the area by 2.5 million acres, tightening the supply, which was bullish; the US soybeans were in the critical pod - setting period, and the recent weather forecast turned dry, which might have an adverse impact on crop growth; with the low - price advantage of US soybeans, other countries' procurement of new crops exceeded expectations; the crushing demand in July was strong, providing support. The soybean meal fluctuated and closed higher, with increased volatility. The influencing factors included Trump's post at the beginning of the week hoping that China would increase US soybean imports, the domestic market declined and then rebounded under the emotional impact; the bullish support of the USDA report, combined with the anti - dumping investigation of Canadian rapeseed, tightened the long - term supply expectation [4]. - The cumulative precipitation in the US soybean producing areas in the next two weeks is lower than the average, which needs continuous attention. The USDA report cut the area and significantly raised the yield per unit. If the precipitation in the producing areas continues to be low, the yield per unit may be revised down. The US biodiesel policy is expanding, and the crushing demand is expected to remain strong, still supporting the price. The domestic short - term soybean and soybean meal supply is still available, and feed enterprises mainly replenish inventory on a rolling basis. The short - term Dalian soybean meal may fluctuate and be slightly stronger [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data | Contract | 8/15 | 8/8 | Change | Change Rate | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CBOT Soybean | 1042.75 | 986.50 | 56.25 | 5.70% | Cents/Bushel | | CNF Import Price: Brazil | 489.00 | 485.00 | 4.00 | 0.82% | US dollars/ton | | CNF Import Price: US Gulf | 456.00 | 443.00 | 13.00 | 2.93% | US dollars/ton | | Brazilian Soybean Crushing Profit on the Futures Market | - 54.34 | - 42.65 | - 11.69 | - | Yuan/ton | | DCE Soybean Meal | 3083.00 | 3045.00 | 38.00 | 1.25% | Yuan/ton | | CZCE Rapeseed Meal | 2649.00 | 2773.00 | - 124.00 | - 4.47% | Yuan/ton | | Soybean Meal - Rapeseed Meal Spread | 434.00 | 272.00 | 162.00 | - | Yuan/ton | | Spot Price: East China | 3020.00 | 2940.00 | 80.00 | 2.72% | Yuan/ton | | Spot Price: South China | 2980.00 | 2920.00 | 60.00 | 2.05% | Yuan/ton | | Spot - Futures Spread: South China | - 103.00 | - 125.00 | 22.00 | - | Yuan/ton | [5] Market Analysis and Outlook - The US soybeans rebounded significantly from the weekly low. The main reasons were the unexpected cut in area in the August report, the dry weather forecast during the pod - setting period, the strong procurement of new crops by other countries, and the strong crushing demand in July. The soybean meal fluctuated and closed higher, influenced by Trump's post, the bullish USDA report, and the anti - dumping investigation of Canadian rapeseed. The rapeseed meal showed a pattern of near - term weakness and long - term strength [8]. - The August USDA report was overall bullish, with a cut in the 2025/2026 US soybean planting area, an increase in yield per unit, a decrease in overall production, a decrease in new - crop export demand, an increase in old - crop export demand, and a decline in the 2025/2026 ending inventory. The US soybean growth indicators were in line with expectations, and about 3% of the planting area was affected by drought. The future 15 - day precipitation in the producing areas is expected to be lower than the average [9]. - As of the week of August 7, 2025, the US soybean export net sales in the current market year were - 378,000 tons, and the cumulative export sales in the 2024/2025 were 5.112 million tons, which had completed the USDA target. The new - crop export net sales in the 2025/2026 were 1.133 million tons, and the cumulative sales were 471,000 tons. China had not purchased new - crop US soybeans. The US soybean crushing profit and related prices showed certain changes, and the NOPA members' soybean crushing volume in July increased compared with June and July 2024. Brazil's August soybean and soybean meal export volume forecasts were raised [10]. - As of the week of August 8, 2025, the main oil mills' soybean inventory increased, the soybean meal inventory decreased, the unexecuted contracts decreased, and the national port soybean inventory increased. As of the week of August 15, 2025, the national soybean meal daily average trading volume decreased, the daily average pick - up volume was stable, the main oil mills' crushing volume increased, and the feed enterprises' soybean meal inventory days were stable [12]. - The US soybean producing area's precipitation needs continuous attention. The US biodiesel policy expansion will support the price. The domestic short - term supply is available, and the long - term supply is expected to be tight. The short - term Dalian soybean meal may fluctuate and be slightly stronger [13]. Industry News - In June 2025, Brazilian factories processed 4.55 million tons of soybeans, produced 3.47 million tons of soybean meal and 930,000 tons of soybean oil, with ending inventories of 23.28 million tons of soybeans, 2.68 million tons of soybean meal, and 480,000 tons of soybean oil [14]. - Brazil's soybean exports in the first week of August were 2.77445327 million tons, with a daily average export volume 27% higher than that in August last year. Canada's June 2025 rapeseed, rapeseed oil, and rapeseed meal exports were 651,106 tons, 223,217 tons, and 459,023 tons respectively [14]. - As of August 1, the US soybean, corn, and wheat unplanted areas were 1.199 million acres, 1.818 million acres, and 277,000 acres respectively.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For palm oil, after the bearish news of supply recovery was concentrated in the second quarter, there are no effective bearish factors in the fundamentals. When the producing areas enter the production - reduction period with extremely low inventories, buying palm oil at low levels will be the main theme in the second half of the year. Further price increases depend on maintaining India's import profit, the support of US soybean oil at 52 cents/pound, and the tightening of Argentine soybean oil supply and the failure of Indonesia's production recovery [5][8]. - For soybean oil, the current drivers are US soybean weather, the sustainability of soybean oil exports, and the results of Sino - US trade negotiations. If palm oil fails to accumulate inventory in August and the soybean import gap persists due to Sino - US trade issues, there will be opportunities to go long on soybean oil, and the soybean - palm oil spread will show a weakening range - bound trend [7][8]. - For soybean meal, due to the bullish 8 - month USDA report, the futures price center is expected to move up. Future attention should be paid to variables such as US soybean production area weather, Sino - US economic and trade talks, and US soybean exports [17][22]. - For soybean No.1, the spot market is generally weak, but it may be driven by the rising price centers of soybean meal and soybean No.2 futures, with the price expected to rebound and fluctuate [22]. - For corn, the market shows a pattern of near - term strength and long - term weakness. The spot trading is light, and the futures market is temporarily weak, waiting for the new season's supply [40][46]. - For sugar, the international market is in a low - level consolidation phase, and the next step is to focus on the opportunity to re - evaluate Brazil's production. The domestic market is in a consolidation period, with the Zhengzhou sugar futures following the trend of raw sugar and trading around the import rhythm [75][107]. - For cotton, the ICE cotton futures are in a range - bound trend. The domestic cotton futures are expected to maintain a volatile trend, and the 01 contract needs new drivers to break through the previous high [109][128]. - For hogs, the spot price oscillates, and the futures price shows a weak oscillation. The near - term futures are in a basis - narrowing market [130][131]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Palm Oil - Last week, the MPOB and USDA reports were unexpectedly bullish, and the palm oil 01 contract rose 5.11% [4]. - This week, the high inventory level in Malaysia from April has been digested. Since June, Indonesia's price indicators have been resilient, and new upward momentum has emerged. The inventory in Malaysia in July did not exceed expectations, driving the price to a three - year high. The price space in the future depends on India's import profit, the support of US soybean oil, and the situation of Argentine soybean oil and Indonesia's production [5]. - China has new ship purchases, and there may be a callback opportunity for the 1 - 5 positive spread, which can be participated in around 200 [7][8]. Soybean Oil - Last week, the USDA report unexpectedly lowered the US soybean planting area, and the soybean oil 09 contract rose 1.74% [4]. - This week, the large number of soybean oil export orders has reversed the weak domestic situation. If the trend continues, it is expected to drive the domestic soybean - palm oil spread closer to the international level. Future attention should be paid to the US soybean purchase situation and Sino - US trade issues [7]. Soybean Meal - Last week, US soybean prices rose due to increased export hopes to China and the bullish USDA report. Domestic soybean meal prices followed the rise, with the main m2601 contract rising 1.39% [16][17]. - The main influencing factors include the USDA report, trade war sentiment, and US soybean fundamentals. Next week, the futures price center is expected to move up [17][22]. Soybean No.1 - Last week, the domestic soybean No.1 price oscillated. The national reserve auction continued, the spot was stable, and the demand was weak. The futures price mainly followed the fluctuations of the soybean market. The main a2511 contract fell 0.83% [17][21]. - Next week, it may be driven by the rising price centers of soybean meal and soybean No.2 futures, with the price expected to rebound and fluctuate [22]. Corn - In the spot market last week, the price was basically stable. In the futures market, the price fell due to the lack of new drivers, weak market sentiment, and low new - season planting costs [40][41]. - In the future, CBOT corn prices fell, wheat prices were stable, corn starch inventory increased, and the futures market is expected to remain weak with a near - term strength and long - term weakness pattern [42][46]. Sugar - In the international market this week, the New York raw sugar price rose, and the net long position of funds increased significantly. The 24/25 crushing season is expected to have a supply shortage, while the 25/26 season is expected to see production increase [73]. - In the domestic market, the spot price rose, and the Zhengzhou sugar futures price also increased. The 24/25 season is expected to see continuous production increase and cost reduction, and the 25/26 season may see a decline in the sugar yield in Guangxi and an increase in production costs [74][75]. - The international market is expected to be in a low - level consolidation phase, and the domestic market is in a consolidation period [107]. Cotton - Last week, ICE cotton rose slightly due to the bullish USDA monthly supply - demand report, but fell in the second half of the week due to concerns about export prospects. Domestic cotton futures rose, with the 01 contract rising more significantly [109]. - The USDA report significantly lowered the US cotton planting area in the 25/26 season, resulting in a decrease in production and ending inventory. The global cotton balance sheet also had corresponding adjustments [114][115]. - ICE cotton is expected to remain range - bound, and domestic cotton futures are expected to maintain a volatile trend, with the 01 contract needing new drivers to break through the previous high [128]. Hogs - This week, the spot price of hogs oscillated. The supply was relatively loose, and the demand increased due to low prices. The average slaughter weight decreased slightly [130]. - The futures price showed a weak oscillation, and the basis of the LH2509 contract changed from negative to positive [131].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the text regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Soybean Oil**: The market is in a "weak reality + strong expectation" pattern. The short - term 01 contract may continue to rise based on the 8400 position.

市场转暖,豆粕期价探底回升
Hua Long Qi Huo· 2025-06-03 07:41
Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint In May 2025, the price of soybean meal futures bottomed out and rebounded. The USDA report is bullish for U.S. soybeans, and as the North American production area enters a period sensitive to weather factors, the price of U.S. soybean futures is likely to rise. With a large number of Brazilian soybeans arriving at ports, the market supply has significantly recovered, and the operating rate of oil mills has rebounded sharply. The inventory of soybean meal has reached an inflection point, and the basis of soybean meal has rapidly declined from a high level and turned negative. The pressure from the weak far - month basis and inventory reconstruction is accumulating. Although the phased strength of U.S. soybean futures will still boost domestic soybeans, the rebound space of domestic soybean meal futures prices will be limited due to the large arrival of domestic soybeans, and the pattern of strong external and weak internal markets will continue [8][34][35]. 3. Summary by Directory Market Review In May 2025, the weighted price of soybean meal futures rose by 1.38% to close at 2946, and the weighted price of rapeseed meal rose by 3.34% to close at 2571. In the international market, the continuous price of U.S. soybeans fell by 0.17% to close at 1042.25, and the price of U.S. soybean meal fell by 0.44% to close at 296.10 [6][9]. Fundamental Analysis - **USDA Report on U.S. Soybeans**: In the 2025/26 season, the U.S. soybean planting area is 83.5 million acres, a year - on - year decrease of 3.6%; the estimated yield per unit is 52.5 bushels per acre, a year - on - year increase of 3.5%; the soybean production is estimated to be 4.34 billion bushels, a year - on - year decrease of 0.6%. The estimated soybean crushing volume is 2.49 billion bushels, a year - on - year increase of 2.9%. The export volume is expected to drop to 1.815 billion bushels, a year - on - year decrease of 1.9%. The ending inventory of soybeans is expected to be 295 million bushels, a year - on - year decrease of 15.7%. The inventory - to - use ratio is estimated to be 6.7%, lower than 8.0% in the 2024/25 season, indicating a tightening supply [18]. - **Global Soybean Supply and Demand**: In the 2025/26 season, the global soybean production is estimated to be 427 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.95 million tons, mainly contributed by the increase in Brazilian soybean production; the import volume is 186 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 8.66 million tons; the crushing volume is 366 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 12.3 million tons; the export volume is 188 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 7.56 million tons; the global ending inventory of soybeans is 124 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.15 million tons [7][21]. - **Other Data**: As of May 25, 2025, the soybean meal inventory of oil mills was 215,800 tons, a month - on - month increase of 89,300 tons, and the inventory was at a historically low level. As of May 30, 2025, the breeding profit of purchased piglets was - 84.37 yuan per head, and the profit was at a historically high level. As of April 2025, the feed production was 26.64 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.4%, and the feed production was at a historically high level [25][27][28]. Cross - Variety Analysis - As of May 30, 2025, the spot crushing profit of domestic soybeans in Heilongjiang was - 142.3 yuan per ton, and the spot crushing profit of imported soybeans in Jiangsu was 39.4 yuan per ton, with the latter at an average level. - As of May 30, 2025, the price ratio of the main futures contracts of Dalian soybean oil and soybean meal was 2.57, and the ratio was at a historically high level. - As of May 30, 2025, the price ratio of the main futures contracts of Zhengzhou rapeseed meal and Dalian soybean meal was 0.89, and the price difference was - 331 yuan per ton [30][32][33]. Outlook The focus is on whether the export demand for U.S. soybeans can recover. The USDA report is bullish for U.S. soybeans, and the price of U.S. soybean futures is likely to rise. With the arrival of a large number of Brazilian soybeans, the supply has recovered, the operating rate of oil mills has increased, and the soybean meal inventory has reached an inflection point. The basis of soybean meal has declined and turned negative. The pressure from the weak far - month basis and inventory reconstruction is increasing. Although the strength of U.S. soybean futures will boost domestic soybeans, the rebound space of domestic soybean meal futures prices will be limited, and the pattern of strong external and weak internal markets will continue [8][34][35].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2) Core Views of the Report - The USDA report this month is bullish, boosting the soybean complex. The extension of the US 45Z clean - fuel tax credit policy benefits the US soybean oil, driving up the prices of the whole oil sector. However, the MPOB report shows that the production and inventory of Malaysian palm oil in April exceeded expectations, with the production increasing by 21.52% month - on - month, exports increasing by 9.62% month - on - month, and inventory increasing by 19.37% month - on - month. The palm oil market is under pressure due to the entry into the production - increasing season [2]. - For protein meals, the weather in US soybean - producing areas is favorable for sowing. The USDA report shows that US soybean production and ending stocks are lower than expected, and the improvement in Sino - US relations may increase US soybean exports. In China, the resumption of oil - mill operations has alleviated the supply shortage, and the sufficient supply of raw soybeans and soybean meal in the second quarter will put pressure on prices [2]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs a. Domestic Futures Market - **Prices and Changes**: The previous day's closing prices of domestic futures for soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil were 7914, 8184, and 9438 respectively, with daily increases of 122, 230, and 64, and daily increase rates of 1.57%, 2.89%, and - 3.15% respectively.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - The report analyzes the market conditions and trading strategies of various agricultural products, including soybeans/meal, oils, sugar, cotton, eggs, and hogs. The overall market shows different trends and characteristics, with short - term fluctuations and medium - term potential risks and opportunities [3][5][10]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Soybeans/Meal - **Market Conditions**: Last Friday, US soybeans closed slightly higher due to the easing of the trade war. Domestic soybean meal prices fell over the weekend due to increased开机率. MYSTEEL estimates that soybean arrivals in May, June, and July will be 9.1975 million tons, 11 million tons, and 10.5 million tons respectively. The US soybean growing area is expected to have normal planting progress, and the Brazilian soybean farmer sales progress is close to 60%. The USDA 25/26 new - crop report on Monday evening may bring some pressure to the beans [3]. - **Trading Strategy**: The cost range of far - month soybean meal such as 09 is 2,850 - 3,000 yuan/ton. The upcoming US soybean USDA monthly report may be bearish, but there may be an opportunity for the report to exhaust the bearish factors. Considering the low valuation, there may be a rebound space after the report. It is expected that US soybeans and domestic soybean meal will fluctuate in the short term [5]. Oils - **Market Conditions**: Malaysian palm oil exports are affected by US tariffs, and production increases, with high - frequency data indicating significant inventory accumulation in April. The US soybean oil industry association's request to significantly increase RVO will boost US soybean oil demand and valuation. Domestic spot basis fluctuates [7][9]. - **Trading Strategy**: The downward movement of the crude oil center will suppress the valuation of oils. With the obvious recovery of palm oil production, there is a medium - term downward pressure on oils. However, the upcoming US RVO rule may boost the sentiment of the oils sector, resulting in short - term fluctuations or a slightly bullish trend [10]. Sugar - **Market Conditions**: On Friday, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price fluctuated. The closing price of the September contract was 5,839 yuan/ton, up 26 yuan/ton or 0.45% from the previous trading day. According to data from Guangxi and Yunnan sugar industry associations, the sugar sales and inventory situations in April showed different trends in the two regions [11]. - **Trading Strategy**: The large - volume delivery of the May raw sugar contract at a relatively low price and the start of the new crushing season in southern Brazil have eased the supply shortage. The raw sugar price may hit a new low in the second and third quarters. In China, due to reduced imports, the domestic sugar price can maintain a high - level shock for now, but there is a greater possibility of a weakening price in the future as the import profit window re - opens [12]. Cotton - **Market Conditions**: On Friday, the Zhengzhou cotton futures price rebounded slightly. The closing price of the September contract was 12,950 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. According to USDA data, US cotton export sales and shipments showed different trends in the week from April 24 to May 1. The USDA will release the monthly crop supply and demand report on May 12 [14]. - **Trading Strategy**: The domestic cotton textile industry's consumption peak season has ended, and the downstream开机率 has declined. However, due to low imports, cotton inventory continues to decline slightly. It is expected that the cotton price will continue to fluctuate in the short term, and attention should be paid to the Sino - US negotiation process and domestic inventory changes in the off - season [15]. Eggs - **Market Conditions**: Over the weekend, domestic egg prices were mainly stable with some local small increases. Newly - laid eggs are increasing, and most regions face supply pressure, while demand is mainly stable. There is some bottom - fishing behavior after the price drops to a low level [18]. - **Trading Strategy**: After the festival, the inventory reduction was less than expected, and the supply pressure is large. The egg futures and spot prices have fallen significantly. The spot price decline has slowed down, and there is a local small - scale rebound, but the sustainability remains to be observed. In the medium term, the strategy of short - selling on rebound remains unchanged before the low price forces the large - scale culling of old hens [19]. Hogs - **Market Conditions**: Over the weekend, domestic hog prices were mainly stable with some local small - scale increases or decreases. The demand side is stable, providing limited support for hog prices, while the supply is abundant [21]. - **Trading Strategy**: The short - term spot price fluctuates within a limited range, but the pressure accumulates due to the increase in hog weight. The futures market has partially reflected the bearish expectation, but the downward space is also limited due to the discount pattern. It is recommended to focus on short - selling opportunities after the futures and spot prices rebound due to emotions such as hoarding, second - fattening, and stocking, and to remain on the sidelines or engage in short - term trading before the contradiction deepens [22].
