China’s soybean meal futures fell 3.27% over the week to 3,079 yuan per tonne, while spot prices declined less and basis strengthened passively. Domestic soybean meal inventories rose 7.26% to 1.389 million tonnes, a near-decade seasonal high, as November soybean arrivals are forecast at 8.5–9.5 million tonnes.
Hog-sector losses and increased planned slaughter are weighing on feed demand, with feed mills largely maintaining short rolling inventories.
Large meal stocks and continued soybean arrivals keep near-term supply ample, while weak hog margins and lower meal inclusion constrain demand; these factors are bearish for Chinese soybean meal prices. The basis improvement reflects futures falling faster than spot, rather than stronger underlying demand.
