Weekly Review:

This week, the price of flaxseed in China has been stable with a slight increase. The overall transaction situation is good. The recent appreciation of the Russian ruble is good for the Russian flaxseed market. The volume of Kazakh flaxseed is relatively small, and Europe purchases more, so the supply is tight.

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.

Weekly Review:

This week, the overall price of flax cake remained stable, and the flax seed 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, and demand will weaken. It is expected that the price of flax cake will continue to fluctuate steadily in the short term. If the price of flaxseed rises, the price of flax cake will still have room to rise.
