CHICAGO: Soybean Oil were trade at $13.8 per bushel in mid-October, hovering close to the two-month low of $13.6 hit on October 6 as fast progress in the US harvest signaled a strong supply to replenish inventories. Commodity investors also continued to digest data from the USDA’s World Supply and Demand Estimate report.
Increased output from major producers Brazil and Argentina heightened export competition for US farms, pressuring projections of US exports of soybean oil trade to be downwardly revised by 40 million bushels for the 2022/23 marketing year. On the other hand, expectations that imports from top consumer China will remain robust limited the downturn in prices.
