Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The soybean supply is tight due to Argentina's reduced soybean production and Brazil's delayed harvest, and the global soybean inventory - consumption ratio has reached a five - year low. The demand for soybean oil from the food processing and biodiesel industries is increasing, and the rise in international crude oil prices has also had a positive impact on soybean oil futures prices. Therefore, the soybean oil futures market should be treated with a bullish bias [3]. - The overall situation is favorable for A - shares. The market is expected to continue high - level fluctuations, but a short - term directional choice is pending [6]. - Gold is still bullish. Although the Shanghai gold is relatively weak, it will follow the upward trend.
