Weekly Review:

This week, domestic flaxseed prices remained stable.  With few influencing factors, the overall trading pace in the flaxseed market was slow, and sales were not brisk. Market transactions were mainly based on actual negotiations, and the overall market remained stable. In terms of supply, the volume of flaxseed at Chinese ports is still relatively low, but a significant amount of goods is expected to arrive in the short term, putting pressure on the port flaxseed market. Recently, overseas flaxseed prices have remained generally stable, which is favorable for the stability of port flaxseed prices in the future.

It is expected that flaxseed prices will remain stable in the short term (1-2 months). Traders lack confidence in flaxseed, but a small peak in demand is expected before the Spring Festival, supporting the flaxseed market. However, if sales are slow and inventory pressure is high, prices may continue to fall.

Weekly Review:

This week, flaxseed oil prices remained stable, as did flaxseed raw material prices.  Demand was weak, and the weak performance of the three major domestic edible oils dragged down flaxseed oil market prices. Currently, the operating rate of Chinese flaxseed oil factories is not high, and the supply of flaxseed oil is relatively tight. However, the decrease in demand for flaxseed oil is a negative factor for the market. With many negative factors affecting the edible oil market, flaxseed oil prices may still fall.
