Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The CBOT currently has no weather premium, and the Sino-US trade policy has not eased, putting pressure on US soybeans, but the downside space is expected to be limited. Under the current Sino-US policy, the Brazilian premium is expected to be strong, and with the expected increase in import costs, the 01 contract is expected to fluctuate strongly. Attention should be paid to the results of the August USDA supply and demand report and the situation of domestic Argentine soybean meal imports [7][8] 3. Summary by Relevant Contents Supply - This week, the good-to-excellent rate of US soybeans dropped to 69%, still at a high level, and the weather in the producing areas will be normal in the next two weeks. Under the pressure of the concentrated arrival of Brazilian soybeans, the domestic soybean pressure drop in August is expected to exceed 10 million tons, and soybean meal is expected to continue to accumulate inventory; the purchase of ships from October to January is progressing slowly, and there is an expectation of inventory reduction in the far month under the current Sino-US trade policy [7] Demand - In the short term, the high inventory of pigs and poultry is expected to be maintained, supporting the demand for feed. However, the policy is oriented to control the inventory and weight of pigs, which is expected to affect the far-month supply of pigs. The cost-effectiveness of soybean meal is relatively high, and the pick-up volume is at a high level. Some areas use wheat to replace corn, reducing the amount of protein used. The far-month trading volume of soybean meal increased this week [8] Inventory - The domestic soybean inventory has increased to a high level; the inventory accumulation speed of soybean meal has slowed down but is still in the inventory accumulation cycle; the inventory days of soybean meal in feed enterprises have decreased [8]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a neutral rating to rapeseed meal [8]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Rapeseed meal is affected by factors such as low - level import rapeseed inventory and China's additional tariff on Canadian oil residue cakes, causing it to rise and then fall. Driven by soybean meal, the price of rapeseed meal will return to range - bound trading in the short term [8]. - The short - term supply and demand of rapeseed meal are both strong. Affected by the low - level inventory of imported rapeseed and the additional tariff on Canadian oil residue cakes, the price may fluctuate within a range [8]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Weekly Hints - Fundamentally, rapeseed meal is expected to be range - bound in the short term. The additional tariff on Canadian oil residue cakes is a short - term positive, but the non - imposition of tariffs on rapeseed imports limits the positive impact. The basis shows a discount to futures, the inventory has increased week - on - week but decreased year - on - year, the price is above the 20 - day moving average, the main short positions have increased, and the price is expected to return to range - bound trading [8]. 3.2 Recent News - Domestic aquaculture has entered the peak season, and the listing of domestic rapeseed has improved the tight supply expectation in the spot market. The annual output of Canadian rapeseed has decreased slightly, and China's additional tariffs on Canadian rapeseed oil and oil residue cakes, along with the ongoing anti - dumping investigation on Canadian rapeseed imports, have uncertain future results. The global rapeseed output has decreased slightly, and the geopolitical conflict still has the possibility of rising, which supports commodities [10]. 3.3 Long and Short Concerns - Positive factors include China's additional tariff on Canadian rapeseed oil and oil residue cakes and the low inventory pressure of oil mills. Negative factors include the concentrated listing of domestic rapeseed in June and the uncertainty of the anti - dumping investigation on Canadian rapeseed imports. The current main logic is the focus on domestic aquaculture demand and the expectation of the tariff war on Canadian rapeseed [11]. 3.4 Fundamental Data - The import volume of rapeseed in August was lower than expected, and the import cost fluctuated slightly. The rapeseed inventory of oil mills has fallen to a low level, the rapeseed meal inventory remains low, and the rapeseed crushing volume has increased slightly. Aquatic product prices have small fluctuations, and the rapeseed meal price has rebounded with the main contract changing months and the spot changing from discount to premium. The spot price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal has small fluctuations [19][21][33]. - The supply - demand balance sheets of domestic rapeseed and rapeseed meal from 2014 to 2023 are provided, showing changes in harvest area, inventory, output, supply, demand, etc. [16][18]. 3.5 Position Data - The main short positions of rapeseed meal have increased, and funds have flowed in [8]. 3.6 Technical Analysis - Rapeseed meal has rebounded and is expected to return to range - bound trading in the short and medium term. The KDJ indicator is oscillating at a high level, and the MACD is rebounding with short - term strong operation. Overall, rapeseed meal is expected to be strongly range - bound in the short term, and the subsequent trend depends on policies and soybean meal [42]. 3.7 Next Week's Concerns - The most important concerns are the planting weather in US soybean - producing areas, the export of Canadian rapeseed and domestic crushing demand, and the arrival and operation of imported soybeans and rapeseed in China. Secondary concerns include domestic soybean meal and aquaculture demand, as well as the inventory of rapeseed meal in oil mills and downstream procurement. Other concerns include macro factors and the Israel - Palestine conflict [45][46].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The US corn market is experiencing a bottom - side oscillation. The US corn 12 - contract is expected to have limited downside below 400 cents per bushel. Corn auctions are ongoing, and with the upcoming new - season corn harvest in September, the market anticipates that Shandong corn prices may drop below 2,200 yuan/ton when a large amount of North China corn hits the market in mid - October. The 09 corn contract may trade in a narrow range around 2,250 yuan/ton, while the 01 corn contract may decline to around 2,150 yuan/ton under favorable weather conditions. The 09 starch contract is expected to remain weak due to its high price differentials with corn and the 01 starch contract [4]. - For trading strategies, one can consider buying the US corn 12 - contract below 400 cents per bushel, buying the 01 corn contract around 2,150 yuan/ton, and paying attention to the 9 - 1 starch reverse spread opportunity (around 100) and the opportunity to narrow the spread between the 09 corn and starch contracts (420 - 380). Options trading should be on hold [5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Corn Situation**: The US corn is at the bottom and oscillating, with the price significantly below the cost (480 cents per bushel).

High 09 - contract warehouse receipts (1.5 million tons), reduced domestic planting costs, and large losses in deep - processing industries are causing domestic corn spot prices to decline. The market is shifting focus to new crops, especially in North China, where it is expected that North China corn prices will likely fall below 2,200 yuan/ton in October. The 09 corn contract may trade narrowly around 2,250 yuan/ton, and the 01 corn contract may drop to 2,150 yuan/ton under good weather [4]. - **Starch Situation**: Starch factory operating rates are rising, but downstream demand remains weak. Although corn spot prices are falling, starch spot prices are also dropping, and starch factories are still facing large losses. The operating rates of North China starch enterprises will decline later, and with the upcoming new - corn harvest, North China starch prices will continue to fall. The 09 starch contract is expected to remain weak due to its high price differentials [4]. - **Trading Strategies**: - **Unilateral Trading**: Consider buying the US corn 12 - contract below 400 cents per bushel. The 09 corn contract may trade in a narrow range of 2,230 - 2,280 yuan/ton, and the 01 corn contract can be bought around 2,150 yuan/ton [5]. - **Arbitrage**: Pay attention to the 9 - 1 starch reverse spread opportunity around 100 and the opportunity to narrow the spread between the 09 corn and starch contracts (420 - 380) [5]. - **Options**: Hold off on options trading [5]. 3.2 Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis 2.1 International Market - **US Corn Weather and Supply - Demand**: Favorable weather conditions are contributing to the bottom - side oscillation of US corn.
