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 grade 1 new-season flaxseed was 5300-5350 yuan/ton. On the supply side, the volume of flaxseed in the Chinese port market has decreased, reducing market supply pressure. On the demand side, replenishment is only needed, sales are slow, and market sentiment is cautious. The overall flaxseed market inventory is in a slow depletion phase, and is expected to ease next spring. International flaxseed prices generally declined slightly. The price for Kazakhstan-to-China delivery (DAP Alashankou/Khorgos terms) was $510-520/ton; Canadian flaxseed CNF price was $610/ton; and Russian Black Sea 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, market sentiment is bearish on flaxseed, leading to an overall weakening trend. However, the relatively low price of flaxseed and the strong willingness of traders to maintain prices are supporting the market. If sales are slow and inventory pressure is high, price reductions may be necessary.
