Weekly Review: 

This week, the price of old-season flaxseed in China remained stable with a slight decline. Sales were slow, demand was weak, and the price of new-season flaxseed was 5350 yuan/ton. On the supply side, the volume of flaxseed in the Chinese port market has decreased, reducing market supply pressure. However, on the demand side, replenishment is only done as needed, sales are slow, and market sentiment is cautious. The overall flaxseed market inventory is in a slow depletion phase, and it is expected to ease next spring. International flaxseed prices generally declined slightly. The price of Kazakhstani flaxseed shipped to China (Alashankou) was $490-510/ton; Canadian flaxseed CNF price was $610/ton; and Russian Black Sea region flaxseed was quoted at $535-540/ton.

Flaxseed prices are expected to fall in the short term (January-February). Based on last week's voting results, the market is not optimistic about flaxseed prices, and the overall trend is weak. Slow sales and a bumper harvest of flaxseed in Kazakhstan are dragging down the flaxseed market. However, the low price of flaxseed and the strong willingness of traders to maintain prices are supporting the market. If inventory pressure becomes high, prices may be lowered.
