As of June 1, total US soybean stocks stood at 1.008 billion bushels(market expected 980 million; previous year 970 million bushels). Coking Coal:The recent synchronized rise in spot and futures prices haslargely stemmed from the continued amplification of earlier“supplyshortage”sentiment. Given that hot metal output remains high, downstream buyers have shownsome restocking interest in cost-effective, scarce coal types. Withthermal coal prices rebounding, demand for coal types like lean coal andsemi-lean coal has also improved. However, market expectations regarding longer-term production capacityhave not changed during this cycle. In other words, once prices rise, therisk of production resumption becomes a key concern. Additionally, withQ3 term contract prices for Mongolian coal already confirmed to belowered, the impact of imported coal is expected to further ease thedomestic coal shortage. In summary, without clear signs of stabilization or recovery inproduction data, sentiment-driven volatility remains a risk. A lightshort position on rebounds is still the preferred strategy. Government Bond Futures:Policy Meeting Triggers Market Pullback, OutlookRemains Range-Bound The bond market saw a pullback this week following the release of the Q22025 Monetary Policy Committee statement by the central bank over theweekend. Notably, the removal of language regarding the possibility of areserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut or interest rate cut lowered marketexpectations for further monetary easing in Q3, creating short-termvolatility in the bond market on Monday. The statement also reflects the central bank’s ongoing focus on inflationtrends and long-term yield movements. This policy signal, combined withthe current macroeconomic backdrop, reinforces the view that the risk-free interest rate is operating within a range—capped by economicfundamentals and supported by policy intervention. In addition, intertemporal spreads had been hovering at low levels,suggesting a latent need for short-term market correction. From a medium-term perspective, inflation may bottom out in the secondhalf of the year, but the magnitude and pace of its recovery are likelyto be limited. As such, we maintain a view of continued range-boundtrading in government bond futures.
