Last week, prices for soybeans and soybean oil rose due to dry and hot weather in central Brazil, but fell slightly at the end of the week. Sunflower oil prices increased by 3-4% due to a shortage of sunflower supplies caused by low prices and the rising euro exchange rate. Demand prices for sunflower oil with delivery to various locations increased, but oil prices in general fell for the fourth week in a row due to falling demand and the poor state of the US and Chinese economies.
