2. Market Analysis 

Soybean Oil: After the New Year's Day and the Spring Festival are approaching, and the rigid demand of the terminal catering industry will be supported. Soybean oil stocks will continue to be at the front line of 900,000 tons, repeatedly hitting record lows. In addition, soybean meal prices will continue to be low. The plant will be stopped for maintenance, the supply of soybean oil is tight, and prices have been rising all the way.

Palm Oil: Since January, Malaysia’s palm oil output has fallen sharply in the news. Domestically, palm oil arrivals in the first quarter are expected to decrease, and palm oil stocks have increased slightly. On the whole, the bullish factors still exist. Palm oil continues to rise, and soybean oil prices continue to move forward.

Data: The Brazilian Vegetable Oil Industry Association (ABIOVE) released a report, predicting that Brazil's soybean oil production will increase from 8.6 million tons in the previous year to 8.8 million tons in 2020, but soybean oil exports will decrease from 1 million tons in the previous year to 300,000 tons.

According to the ITS data of the shipping survey company, from December 1 to 25, 2019, Malaysia ’s palm oil exports were 1.188 million tons, a month-on-month decrease of 12.8%.

3. Market Forecasting

Li Bing, an agricultural product analyst at SunSirs, believes that on the eve of the Spring Festival, the prices of soybean oil and palm oil remained strong.

After the holiday, demand weakened, and many factors were digested by the market. Soybean oil and palm oil may usher in a correction.
