Oil prices have slightly declined despite the geopolitical tensions following Iran's shelling of Israel, as the conflict has not escalated into open warfare. This decrease is reflected in Brent crude oil futures, along with drops in palm and soybean oil prices, attributed to positive production and export reports from Malaysia and a surge in South American soybean supplies. The USDA has updated its vegetable oil production and trade forecasts, noting a decrease in palm oil imports by India and China, and an uptick in sunflower oil exports from Ukraine and Russia, largely due to increased imports by Egypt.
