Market Overview - The A-share market experienced slight fluctuations, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising by 0.04% to 3965.28 points, marking a nine-day winning streak, while the Shenzhen Component Index fell by 0.49% to 13537.10 points. The total trading volume remained high at 2.15 trillion yuan, with more declines than gains in the overall market. As the year-end approaches, market hotspots are becoming more dispersed, with the oil and military sectors performing relatively well. After a brief adjustment in the fourth quarter, the market has resumed its upward trend, and the positive factors driving this rally are expected to remain unchanged, indicating a potential slow bull market next year [1][10]. Metal Market Dynamics - The metal market has shown significant volatility, with silver futures experiencing over a 10% increase during the day but closing lower. Copper futures broke the 100,000 yuan mark but also saw a narrowing of gains by the end of the day. Platinum and palladium contracts hit their daily limit down. The fluctuations in commodity prices have led to a decline in the non-ferrous metal sector in the stock market [3][12]. - Silver has been in a structural supply deficit for five years, driven by industrial demand from photovoltaic silver paste and AI electronics, with a cumulative increase of over 150% this year. The global supply of silver is primarily a byproduct of copper, lead, and zinc mining, and the expected increase in silver supply by 2026 is minimal, unable to fill the significant demand gap. The demand from the photovoltaic industry is stable despite the push for "de-silverization," while the rapidly expanding demand from AI data centers and automotive electronics will further support silver prices. A physical deficit of over 100 million ounces of silver is anticipated by 2026 [3][12]. - In contrast, copper is transitioning from an expected shortage to a real shortage, with projections indicating a deep deficit of 500,000 to 1 million tons in the global copper market by 2026. The decline in existing mine grades and lagging capital expenditures are hindering copper supply growth, while the explosive demand from AI and power grids is creating a rigid demand for copper, making price increases more likely in the long term [3][12]. Investment Strategies - Given the significant prior gains in metals like silver and copper, profit-taking has led to increased short-term volatility. Companies with high-quality mining resources are expected to benefit from both volume and price increases, providing a good safety margin and typically higher stock price elasticity than the metals themselves. Investors are advised to pay attention to mining ETFs (561330) and consider opportunities for low-cost acquisitions [4][13]. - The livestock sector saw a mild increase today, with pig supply expected to contract significantly due to strong policy and market-driven reductions, potentially leading to a rising price trend. The chicken sector is also expected to see price stabilization as seasonal demand increases, while the egg-laying industry faces upstream supply constraints that will gradually affect prices. Overall, the livestock industry is anticipated to recover in profits and valuations by 2026, making livestock ETFs (159865) worth monitoring [4][14]. Currency and Economic Outlook - The offshore RMB has strengthened against the USD, reaching the 7.0 mark, the highest in 15 months. It is expected that the RMB will maintain a strong trend in the short term, with a moderate appreciation anticipated in 2026, which could enhance the attractiveness of Chinese assets to global capital [4][14]. - In 2026, China is expected to continue its loose monetary and proactive fiscal policies, leading to a further recovery in total demand. Globally, fiscal expansions in the US, Europe, and Japan are also expected to improve demand. The Federal Reserve is likely to maintain a loose stance, benefiting the A-share market during the economic recovery phase [5][15]. Index Performance - The A500 index emphasizes industry balance and sector leaders, providing a more diversified and growth-exposed style that can offer a better beta base during the industrial upgrade cycle. Since its base period, the A500 has shown an annualized total return of 9.11% with a volatility of 21.41%, outperforming the CSI 300 in total returns, particularly in growth phases. The A500 index, covering leading companies across various sectors, offers investors a balanced choice between defensive and growth potential during market fluctuations [6][15].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, South American soybeans are likely to have a significant yield increase, but the impact of La Niña on southern Brazil and Argentina should be monitored. The inventory - to - sales ratio of US soybeans in the 25/26 season remains at a historically low level, supporting US soybean prices, and there is still room for adjustment in US soybean yield and exports. It is expected that the downward price movement of US soybeans is limited [5]. - On the demand side, the crushing profit of imported soybeans in China is generally in the red, leading oil mills to strengthen their price - holding intentions, which supports the price of soybean meal. The Chinese government is releasing imported soybeans through auctions, and the high transaction prices support the near - month contracts of soybean meal. In the Chinese pig - farming sector, the number of pig slaughterings in 2026 may increase year - on - year, but due to the loss - making situation in farming, the average slaughter weight of pigs is expected to decline year - on - year. In the Chinese poultry sector, the number of major meat - type poultry slaughterings is expected to continue growing in 2026, but the growth rate may slow down. In the Chinese egg - laying hen sector, due to the large inventory base of laying hens, past profitability in farming, and low market enthusiasm for culling, the inventory of laying hens in the first quarter of 2026 is expected to remain at a high level [5]. - Overall, with a high probability of South American soybean yield increase and stable domestic demand, the supply - demand situation is loose. There is no strong driving force for a significant increase in soybean and rapeseed meal prices. It is expected that the prices of soybean and rapeseed meal will mainly fluctuate within a wide range [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Annual Viewpoints and Strategies - Supply - side: In 2026, South American soybeans are likely to increase in production, but attention should be paid to La Niña's influence on southern Brazil and Argentina. The low inventory - to - sales ratio of US soybeans supports prices, and there is potential for adjustment in US soybean yield and exports [5]. - Demand - side: Domestic soybean crushing losses lead to stronger price - holding by oil mills. The government's soybean auctions with high prices support near - month contracts. Pig slaughter volume may increase in 2026, but weight may decline. Meat - type poultry slaughter is expected to grow with a slowdown in the rate. Laying hen inventory is expected to stay high in Q1 2026 [5]. - Overall: With supply - demand balance, soybean and rapeseed meal prices are expected to have wide - range fluctuations [5]. Strategy Views and Outlook - Unilateral: The main contract of soybean meal may fluctuate widely, with a reference range of 2650 - 3000. For options, consider buying put options after price increases [7]. - Arbitrage: Adopt a wait - and - see approach for now [7]. - Outlook: Key factors to watch include the weather in South American soybean - growing areas, the arrival of imported soybeans, domestic demand for soybean meal, and China - Canada and China - US trade relations [7]. International Situation - US Interest Rates: In September 2025, the US unemployment rate was 4.4%, slightly lower than the Fed's expected 4.5% but higher than the long - term target of 4.2%. The number of new non - farm jobs was 119,000, less than the target of 200,000. Due to the lag in CPI data release caused by the government shutdown and the expected decline in core CPI after considering the easing of China - US trade relations, there is a need for the US to cut interest rates in 2026 [10][12][14]. - China - US Trade: After the meeting between Chinese and US leaders in late October 2025, trade relations eased, and China promised to purchase 1.2 billion tons of US soybeans. On November 5, China officially announced retaining a 10% tariff on US goods, so the current tariff rate for importing US soybeans is 13%. Since resuming imports, China has imported about 4 million tons of US soybeans [18]. - China - Canada Trade: On August 12, 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce imposed a 75.8% deposit on Canadian rapeseed imports, leading to a halt in imports in October [20]. Domestic Situation - Domestic Prices: In October 2025, China's CPI increased by 0.2% year - on - year, and PPI decreased by 2.1% year - on - year, indicating weak consumer demand [25]. - GDP Growth: In recent years, due to the in - depth adjustment of the domestic real estate market and the severe external environment, China's GDP growth rate has slowed down [29]. Policy - related Expectations - Anti - dumping Investigation on Canadian Rapeseed: The result of the anti - dumping investigation on Canadian rapeseed will be announced before March 9, 2026. The outcome is still uncertain, depending on China - Canada and Canada - US trade relations [34][35]. - State Auction of Imported Soybeans: On December 11, 2025, the National Grain Trading Center auctioned 512,500 tons of imported soybeans (from 2022 and 2023). The trading volume was 397,043 tons, with an average price of 3,935.3 yuan/ton and a trading ratio of 77.5%. The market expects a total of about 4 million tons of imported soybeans to be auctioned, and subsequent auctions need attention [37]. Fundamentals - Futures Price Trends: Since 2025, soybean meal futures prices have risen first, then fallen, and finally fluctuated widely. The price increase in Q1 was due to low imported soybean arrival; the decline in Q2 was due to sufficient supply; in Q4, prices fluctuated weakly with the easing of China - US trade relations [45]. - Feed Futures Contract Spreads: The spread between soybean and rapeseed meal has fluctuated widely and is currently at a historically low level. It is recommended to wait and see [50]. Impact Factors on Supply - La Niña's Impact: The latest Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is - 0.6, below the - 0.5 threshold. Most models suggest La Niña will persist in the Northern Hemisphere winter. However, NOAA predicts a 61% chance of ENSO turning neutral from January to March 2026, and the impact on South American soybean production is expected to be limited [58]. - US Soybean Inventory - to - Sales Ratio: According to the December USDA report, the inventory - to - sales ratio of US soybeans in the 25/26 season is 6.74%, at a historically low level, which supports US soybean prices and limits the downward price space [60][61]. - Brazilian Soybean Exports: As of early December 2025, Brazilian farmers' soybean sales progress reached 95.17%. Before the new harvest, Brazil's available soybean exports are limited [67]. - South American Soybean Planting: As of December 5, 2025, Brazil's soybean planting rate was 90.3%, and as of December 11, Argentina's soybean planting progress was 58.6%. Overall, the planting progress is normal. Although La Niña needs attention, Brazil's soybean production is likely to increase due to the expanded planting area [71]. Demand - side Factors - Pig Farming: In 2025, the inventory of sows capable of reproduction was at a historically high level, indicating a possible year - on - year increase in pig slaughter in 2026. However, due to losses in farming, the average slaughter weight of pigs is expected to decline year - on - year [76]. - Poultry Farming: In 2025, the inventory of parent - generation white - feather broilers was high, and the supply of chicks in the first quarter of 2026 is expected to keep growing. The number of major meat - type poultry slaughterings is expected to grow, but at a slower rate. The inventory of laying hens in 2025 reached a historical high, and it is expected to remain high in the first quarter of 2026 [78]. Import and Inventory - Soybean Imports: In November 2025, China imported 8.107 million tons of soybeans, a decrease of 1.373 million tons from October and an increase of 953,000 tons (13.32%) from November 2024. From January to November 2025, the cumulative soybean imports were 103.7814 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.6872 million tons (6.89%) [80]. - Rapeseed Imports: In October 2025, China's rapeseed imports were 0 tons. From January to October, the cumulative rapeseed imports were 2.4458 million tons, a 51.8% decrease from the same period last year [84]. - Soybean and Soybean Meal Inventory: As of December 5, 2025, the national port soybean inventory was 7.1552 million tons, a 2.51% decrease from the previous week and a 30.80% increase from last year. The domestic oil - mill soybean meal inventory was 1.1619 million tons, a 3.43% decrease from the previous week and a 70.74% increase from last year [89]. - Rapeseed and Rapeseed Meal Inventory: As of December 5, 2025, the coastal oil - mill rapeseed inventory was 0 tons, and the rapeseed meal inventory was 0.02 million tons. The low inventory is due to the off - season of aquaculture, and the sufficient supply of soybean meal suppresses rapeseed meal prices [93]. Technical Analysis - The current price of the soybean meal 2605 contract is at a historically low level [99].
