Oil prices have surged, with notable increases in hydrogenated palm olein, palm oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil across various regions. Analysts anticipate a temporary dip in prices before they hit a three-year high by the end of the marketing year, driven by a significant rise in sunflower oil prices due to decreased global exports. Contributing factors include crop losses in France from excessive rainfall and production declines in the Black Sea region caused by drought, leading to higher prices for sunflower and other oils.
