*Soy Oil Strength Meets Palm Oil Recovery: Global Buyers Eye Cost Advantage*
•Soybean oil prices are expected to remain elevated over the coming few months, supported by limited availability in key producing regions like the U.S. and South America and steady demand from the biodiesel sector.
•Meanwhile, a rebound in palm oil production across Indonesia and Malaysia will likely sustain its price discount against soybean oil, making it a more cost-effective option in the global edible oil market.
•As the price gap between the two oils widens, palm oil is poised to attract stronger interest from value-focused importers such as India, China, Pakistan, and several African countries. While soybean oil maintains solid demand fundamentals, palm oil’s relative affordability is expected to strengthen its position in global trade flows.
