Report Information - Report Title: Oil and Oilseed Industry Daily Report - Date: August 20, 2025 - Author: Xu Liang (Z0002220) - Reviewer: Tang Yun (Z0002422) Core Views Palm Oil - **International Market**: The Malaysian BMD crude palm oil futures are in a high - level volatile consolidation. Due to concerns about production growth and a slowdown in export growth in the second half of the month, there is pressure for the futures to fall below 4,500 ringgit and further weaken, with an expected test of the 4,350 - 4,400 ringgit range for support. After a short - term stabilization, there is a chance to rebound to 4,500 ringgit. In the long term, affected by seasonal production growth and the expected significant inventory increase from August to September, the futures price may decline to 4,000 ringgit [3]. - **Domestic Market**: The Dalian palm oil futures are also in a high - level volatile consolidation. After breaking below the 9,500 yuan support, there is pressure for further weakening, with an expected test of the 9,200 yuan platform for support, and strong support at around 9,000 yuan. After the current adjustment, there is a possibility of the futures strengthening again. The long - term upward trend remains good, and it is currently considered a Wave 4 adjustment [3]. Soybean Oil - International crude oil decline due to expected easing of the Russia - Ukraine conflict and concerns about potential changes in the US biodiesel policy have dragged down the vegetable oil market. The expected high yield of US soybeans has also affected domestic oils. In the domestic market, the current downstream demand is not strong, but due to expected increased domestic demand and potential price increases of palm oil during the Indian Diwali festival, the Dalian soybean oil futures may rise after the adjustment, with support for the January contract at around 8,300 yuan [4]. Soybean Meal - The slowdown in the decline of South American soybean premiums and institutional oil - meal arbitrage adjustments support soybean meal. Institutions such as Qiankun and Morgan have increased their long positions by over 10,000 lots, making the short - term trend of the main contract of Dalian soybean meal firm, oscillating around 3,150 yuan. The spot prices of oil mills are mostly stable, with some slightly decreasing. Feed mills' physical inventories can generally last until the end of September, and the slow purchase progress for December - January shipments leads to a consistent bullish expectation for the long - term soybean meal price. The short - term spot price is expected to range from 3,000 to 3,200 yuan/ton [17].

Core Viewpoint - The 2025 China (Zhengzhou) International Futures Forum highlighted the significant role of the edible vegetable oil market in China, noting that while imports have decreased, they still dominate the market. The overall price of vegetable oils in China has increased due to global supply-demand balance, but remains within a historically reasonable range. Future market trends will be influenced by tariff policies, soybean import conditions in Q4, palm oil production increases, and biodiesel industry policies [1][2]. Supply Analysis - The global production of nine major vegetable oils is on the rise, with an expected output of 235 million tons for the 2025/2026 season, an increase of 6.37 million tons year-on-year. This includes a production increase of 2.65 million tons for soybean oil, 1.79 million tons for palm oil, and 1.65 million tons for sunflower seed oil [1]. Demand Analysis - For the 2024/2025 season, global vegetable oil consumption is projected to reach 224 million tons, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 2.3%. This includes a 2.3% increase in edible consumption and a 2.7% increase in industrial consumption. By the 2025/2026 season, total consumption is expected to rise to 230 million tons. Notably, industrial consumption is anticipated to account for 28% of total consumption, up from 22.2% in the 2010/2011 season, indicating a significant shift in consumption structure [2].
