Weekly Review:

This week, the national flaxseed price remained stable. The overall transaction situation was good. At present, the Russian-Ukrainian war has ended, and various sanctions against Russia may be lifted. In this way, the export volume of Russian flaxseed may increase. In addition, the appreciation of the Russian ruble is good for the Russian flaxseed market. In terms of domestic supply, the arrival volume of flaxseed at Chinese ports may be relatively large in the future, and the supply of flaxseed is expected to be sufficient. In terms of demand, the start-up of Chinese flaxseed oil factories has increased, and the speed of flaxseed shipment has accelerated, which is good for the flaxseed market. At present, there are 112,200 tons of flaxseed in various domestic ports, 92,500 tons of goods in Tianjin Port, 10,000 tons of goods in Alashankou, and 8,200 tons of goods in Lanzhou. The cargo volume in other ports is relatively small. With many positive factors, it is expected that there is still room for flaxseed to rise in the short term.

Weekly Review:

This week, the price of linseed oil is stable. At present, the operating rate of Chinese linseed oil factories has increased, and the supply of linseed oil is sufficient, which is bearish for the linseed oil market. In terms of demand, it is currently in the off-season for linseed oil consumption, and the demand for linseed oil is not strong, which is bearish for the linseed oil market. It is expected that the price of linseed oil will continue to remain stable in the short term.

Weekly Review:

The overall price of flax cake rose this week, and the flaxseed market continued to be good, supporting the flax cake market. The operating rate of flaxseed oil plants has increased, and the supply is generally sufficient, which is bearish for the flaxseed cake market. In addition, as the temperature rises in the later period, the proportion of flaxseed cake as a high-calorie feed raw material in the feed ratio will decrease. The recent increase in soybean meal and rapeseed meal has supported the flax cake market. It is expected that the price of flax cake will fluctuate steadily in the short term. If the price of flaxseed rises, the price of flax cake will still have room to rise.
