Tridge summary

The article discusses the dynamic of key vegetable and palm oils prices in the European and Asian markets, amidst the rapeseed harvest season in Europe and the anticipated rise in rapeseed oil supply. It highlights a drop in demand for these oils from European biodiesel producers, leading to a decrease in prices for Ukrainian soybean and sunflower oil. This is further influenced by the depreciation of the euro against the dollar. In contrast, the high demand and limited supply from Ukraine, along with a slight decrease in palm oil exports from Malaysia, have resulted in increased quotes for these commodities. Furthermore, the article notes an uptick in Brent crude oil prices due to potential conflict in the Middle East, which could contribute to higher vegetable oil prices in the short term.
