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.

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.

最近中加之间的经贸博弈可真是越来越有看头，咱先把事儿捋清楚——中国商务部8月12日发了公告，直接给加拿大进口油菜籽定了性： 存在倾销。紧接着就说了，要收保证金，而且是对所有加拿大公司都收75.8%，从8月14号这周一开始就生效了。有驻新加坡的油菜籽贸易 商跟路透社说，这75%的保证金跟明说"咱不要加拿大油菜籽"没啥区别，这话一点不夸张。 为啥突然下这手？早有铺垫。去年9月9号，商务部就已经对加拿大油菜籽启动反倾销调查了，现在是查明白了：加拿大油菜籽确实在倾 销，还让中国国内的油菜籽产业受了实实在在的损害，这两者之间的因果关系也跑不了。按《反倾销条例》办事，收保证金这步操作合理 合法。 而且这不是中国第一次对加拿大出手了。今年3月就已经给加拿大的菜籽油、油渣饼加了100%的关税，当时国务院关税税则委员会就把话 挑明了——加拿大去年宣布10月1号起给中国电动汽车加100%关税，22号又给中国钢铁、铝产品加25%关税，这明显是损害中国利益，砸 中加经贸的锅。 更关键的是时机，8月正好是加拿大油菜籽要丰收的时候，这时候出手，加拿大农民手里的油菜籽眼看要堆仓库里卖不出去，价格都跌了 快三成，农民协会天天找政府要说法。加 ...

Group 1 - In September and October of this year, China has secured approximately 12 million tons of soybean supply from South America, accounting for about half of its demand during the same period, which has forced the U.S. to lose its traditional autumn export window [2] - Data indicates that China's total soybean imports for 2024 are projected to be around 105 million tons, with approximately 22.13 million tons sourced from the U.S., while over 70% will come from Brazil, and Argentina's supply is also rapidly increasing, providing China with diversified procurement options [4] - This strategy is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach but rather a rational choice for supply-demand restructuring and supply security, as diversifying imports helps mitigate risks from trade frictions and promotes the synergy between South American supply chains and the Chinese market [5]
