Weekly Review:

This week, domestic flaxseed prices fell. The overall trading pace in the flaxseed market is currently slow, with slow sales. Market transactions are mainly based on actual negotiated prices, and the overall market trend is weak. In terms of supply, the large volume of flaxseed at Chinese ports is putting pressure on the port flaxseed market. In terms of demand, the operating rate of Chinese flaxseed oil mills is currently low, and the demand for flaxseed at ports is not high; the market for flaxseed oil and flaxseed meal is weak. However, with the approaching Spring Festival, consumption in the flaxseed oil market in various regions will improve, providing some support to the market.

It is expected that flaxseed prices will remain stable in the short term (January-February). Traders lack confidence in flaxseed. A small peak in demand is expected before the Spring Festival, supporting the flaxseed market. However, after the Spring Festival, the demand for flaxseed oil will fall into a trough. If sales are slow and inventory pressure is high, prices may continue to fall.

Weekly Review:

This week, the flaxseed oil market remained relatively stable.  The price of flaxseed raw materials fell, and demand was weak. The weak performance of the three major edible oils in the domestic market dragged down flaxseed oil prices. Currently, the operating rate of Chinese flaxseed oil factories is not high, resulting in a tight supply of flaxseed oil. 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 further.
