Group 1: Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Group 2: Core Views Oils and Fats - The short - term outlook for palm oil is positive, with potential for further rebound. However, domestic Dalian palm oil futures face resistance at 8,500 yuan. The fundamentals of soy oil are currently bearish, and the CBOT soy oil is expected to have limited upward movement. Rapeseed oil has seen a short - term rebound, but the upward momentum may be restricted due to a bearish sentiment in the domestic oils and fats market [1]. Livestock (Pigs) - The spot price of pigs is stable, and the market trend is slightly stronger due to increased demand around the Winter Solstice. The futures market is mainly focused on the post - Spring Festival market, and the futures price is expected to find support at around 11,000 [3][4]. Meal (Soybean and Rapeseed) - The domestic soybean meal market remains loose, with limited downward space but no clear upward drivers. Attention should be paid to the performance of the main contract around 2,750 [9]. Jujube - The jujube spot market has weak demand and supply exceeds demand, causing the futures price to be under pressure. The futures price may rebound slightly if there is a boost in the Spring Festival consumption; otherwise, it will continue to decline [12].

As the festival approaches, the market sentiment may improve, and it is recommended to take profits on long positions [15][19]. Corn and Corn Starch - The corn market may maintain a weak pattern in the short term, but the downward space is limited. Attention should be paid to the selling sentiment and policy releases [22].

Zhengzhou cotton is expected to fluctuate within a relatively strong range, but there is limited upward momentum [25][26].

The domestic sugar market is expected to remain weak and volatile next week, and it is advisable to short on rallies [29]. Eggs - The egg market still has a pattern of "strong supply and weak demand", and the market sentiment is not optimistic. The price is expected to be weak and volatile this week [31][32].
