Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the reports. Core Views Oils and Fats - Palm oil: As the month - end approaches, the market focuses on export and production data. There is a risk of ending the rebound and falling again. Dalian palm oil futures may continue to rise and break through 8600 yuan [1]. - Soybean oil: CBOT soybean rises due to China's procurement, and CBOT豆油 may rise to 52 cents. However, domestic soybean oil supply is sufficient, demand is weak, and inventory may increase, so it has no short - term upward momentum [1]. Livestock (Pigs) - The market supply of pigs accelerates, and the demand support is limited. Pig prices are expected to be in a weak and volatile structure. The strategy of inter - month reverse spread can be held, and the sustainability of the contract's rebound needs attention [3]. Meal - The domestic soybean meal market remains loose. The one - price rises with the market, and the basis drops slightly. The market is unlikely to have a continuous upward trend and may fall after a short - term rise [6]. Corn and Corn Starch - Due to factors such as logistics in the Northeast and demand in North China, the price of corn at the grass - roots level remains firm. However, there is still a large amount of grain to be sold, so the upward space is limited [7]. Sugar - ICE raw sugar is expected to fluctuate around 14 cents/pound. The new sugar in Guangxi is on the market, and the market is expected to be in a weak and volatile pattern at the bottom this week [11]. Cotton - ICE US cotton futures are closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. US cotton export sales data shows a decline. Domestically, Zheng cotton faces hedging pressure, but the basis is firm and demand has resilience, so the cotton price may fluctuate in a range in the short term [13]. Eggs - Egg prices have fallen below the feed cost line, and the decline space is limited. The market is clearing inventory, demand is recovering, and egg futures prices are expected to fluctuate at a low level [15].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports 2.1 Oils and Fats Industry - Palm oil: In Malaysia, the BMD crude palm oil futures may gradually recover and rise after the release of risks following the MPOB report and as India returns to the market next month. The domestic Dalian palm oil futures are under pressure to decline, with an expected support level at 8200. - Soybean oil: The uncertainty of biodiesel policies and short - term soybean export data affect the CBOT soybean and soybean oil. Domestically, the increase in soybean oil production and weak downstream demand lead to an increase in inventory, but the poor oil - mill profit and weak demand for soybean meal support the price. The spot basis quotation will maintain a narrow - range oscillation [1]. 2.2 Pig Industry The market supply is recovering, and the demand support is limited. Although there are sporadic epidemics in the Northeast, large - scale outbreaks are unlikely. The pig price is expected to maintain a weak and oscillating structure, and the 3 - 7 reverse spread strategy can be continued [4]. 2.3 Meal Industry The US soybean market has a loose supply - demand pattern, and the South American new - crop soybean planting progress is good. Domestically, the soybean inventory is high, and the meal supply is loose.

Although the sugar production in Brazil's central - southern region is expected to increase in the first half of November, the early end of the harvest and lower ethanol inventory support the price. The domestic sugar market is expected to maintain a weak bottom - oscillating pattern [13][14]. 2.6 Cotton Industry The ICE cotton futures are rising due to the US Department of Agriculture's export sales report and a weaker dollar. Domestically, the high production of Xinjiang cotton in the 2025/26 season brings hedging pressure, but the strong basis and downstream demand support the price. The cotton price is expected to oscillate within a range in the short term [15]. 2.7 Egg Industry The current egg price is below the feed cost line, and the inventory in production and circulation links has decreased. It is expected that the egg price will have limited downward space and will oscillate at a low level, with attention paid to the support at the previous low [18]. 3.

1. Industry Information - Industry: Eggs [1] - Date: November 25, 2025 [2] 2. Investment Rating - Not provided 3. Core View - The spot egg market is expected to stabilize at a low level this week. The demand is expected to enter the peak season in December with double - holiday stocking expectations. The downward price should not be overly underestimated, while the upward space depends on market digestion and sales. The futures market is likely to bottom out and wait for the spot rebound signal.

Report Summary 1. Report Information - **Industry**: Eggs [1] - **Date**: November 24, 2025 [2] 2. Core Viewpoints - The spot market for eggs weakened continuously this week and then stabilized. The egg prices in the two major producing regions of Hubei and Hunan, which led the previous rebound, have been falling since last week until mid - week. The red eggs in the north were relatively balanced in supply and demand but also weakened under the influence of the powder eggs. The national market prices stabilized on Friday, and market sentiment improved to some extent.

The decline in the price of culled chickens indicates that the culling rhythm is progressing orderly. The downside of egg prices should not be overly underestimated, while the upside space depends on market digestion and sales. The trend is unclear, and egg prices are expected to stabilize at a low level next week. [8] - In the futures market, the main contract fluctuated at a low level this week without a clear direction. The 01 contract fell below 3200 points, close to historical lows, attracting some bottom - fishing funds. However, compared with the end of 2016 and 2019, the current spot price is lower. From the perspective of basis, although it is close to the absolute price low, there are risks in going long. The futures market is expected to bottom out and wait for the spot price to rebound.
