Yesterday, edible oil futures prices fluctuated, driven by rising crude oil, geopolitical conflicts, and expectations for biofuel policy. In the short term, the market leaned bullish, but fundamentals showed weak demand. As the energy-linked outlook strengthened, palm oil, soybean oil, and crude oil moved higher in tandem. Tensions in the Middle East raised the economic viability of biodiesel, supporting edible oil prices. However, high inventories and the post-holiday seasonal slowdown in consumption made downstream buyers cautious. Overall, edible oil prices traded in a range. (Feed Industry Information Network)
