Opinion summary: Bean 1: Entering the wheat harvest season, farmers surrender their stocks and their demand for soybeans weakens. In addition, with the approaching summer vacation and the graduation of fresh graduates, consumer demand in the school canteen is sluggish. Coupled with the low price of vegetables, the high price difference between soy products and vegetables also limits the demand for soybeans. At the same time, the price of pork is low, and the ratio and substitution effect of animal protein to vegetable protein is gradually emerging. The overall sluggish downstream demand has dragged down the price of domestic beans. At present, the main factor supporting the price of domestic soybeans is the National Reserve. The soybean purchase price announced last week has also remained at 2.875 yuan/kg, without further reduction. In addition, after recent purchases and storage, and some protein factories entered the market for purchase, soybeans in the Guannei area are quickly digested, and surplus grains in southern regions are limited. In the case of limited supply, the market decline will be limited to a certain extent, and the phenomenon of high quality and better price will be more obvious. From the disk perspective, the bean has lightened its position and went up, and the short position may show some signs of liquidation. The momentum of the continued decline is weakened, and the main thing is to wait and see for the time being.
