In 2018, soybean oil fell by 7.69% as a whole; in 2019, soybean oil soared by 36.11%.

The biggest drop was in February, with an overall decrease of 16.32%, and the biggest increase was in July, with an overall increase of 12.31%. After New Year's Day, due to the flat demand in the catering industry, soybean oil fell for four consecutive months.

According to the annual comparison chart of palm oil from 2018 to 2020, it can be seen that the price of palm oil in 2020 is higher than that in 2018 and 2019.

According to the monthly fluctuation chart of palm oil from January to November 2020, it can be seen that in 2020, palm oil, like soybean oil, will fall for 4 consecutive months and then rise for 7 consecutive months. The biggest drop was in February, with a drop of up to 20%. The biggest increase was in July, with an increase of 12.47%.

Similarly, palm oil prices continued to fall due to weakening demand in the catering industry in the first four months. Starting in May, terminal demand ushered in an improvement. With the support of the external oil market, palm oil opened a rising channel. Due to the production and export data of Malaysia, the main palm oil producing country, palm oil has not fully replicated the soy oil increase, and the increase has decreased.

The annual market analysis of soybean oil palm oil in 2020 is as follows

From January to April, after the New Year's Day, the bullish factors of soybean oil and palm oil were exhausted, and prices began to plunge. At the beginning of the Spring Festival, the catering industry was hit hard and demand was sluggish. Palm oil and soybean oil, which are used for frying, were the most affected. Palm oil and soybean oil fell the most in February.
Since March, soybean oil companies have basically resumed work, and oil supply pressure has increased. Supported by the good news that Malay palm oil production has fallen sharply, the price of palm oil and soybean oil has increased to a certain extent. Due to the sluggish terminal demand and the weak rebound of oil, soybean oil palm oil Continue to oscillate downward.

From May to December, beginning in May, Malaysia announced the resumption of its biodiesel plan in September, and India resumed importing palm oil from Malaysia. With bullish support, the palm oil futures market ushered in a surge. In June, there are rumors of soybean oil purchasing and storage in the market. The state-owned group will purchase 1 million tons of soybean oil, China Grain will carry out cyclic storage, and the uncertainty of Sino-US trade relations has increased. Soy oil palm oil ushered in another wave of growth. As terminal demand has not yet fully improved, soy oil palm oil's rise was short-lived and did not rise sharply.

In July, there were frequent good news on palm oil fundamentals. Increased rainfall in the main producing country, Indonesia and Malaysia, triggered concerns about production cuts. Malaysian palm oil export data increased sharply year-on-year. Boosted by this bullish factor, the soybean oil palm oil market rose strongly. In August, market news rumors of soybean oil purchasing and storage resumed. It is expected that the country will buy and store 2 million tons of soybean oil, which will bring an exciting blow to the sluggish oil market. Soy palm oil continues to rise.

In September, with the support of terminal rigid demand, coupled with the favorable report data, palm oil export data increased, soy oil palm oil resumed its soaring pattern. As the main palm oil producing country Malaysia is in the late stage of increasing production, soy oil is gaining momentum, and palm oil has experienced a callback after the rise. During the National Day, due to the impact of the La Nina weather, concerns about the reduction of Malay palm oil production are expected to increase. After the National Day, soy oil palm oil ushered in a supplementary increase in the market, and the market rose sharply.

In November, the surge in oil palm oil was mainly driven by the US soybean news. Palm oil's ability to resist declines was poor. Because of the drag of Malaysian palm oil, palm oil still showed signs of decline and lack of momentum for the rise. Although both soybean oil and palm oil are rising overall, palm oil's growth rate is significantly lower than that of soybean oil. Since December, soybean oil palm oil is still strong, rumors of soybean oil purchases and storage delays, India's palm oil tariff policy, Malay palm oil stocks are at a low level, and bullish factors remain. Soy palm oil continues to rise.

Sum up

SunSirs agricultural products analysts believe that the soybean oil palm oil market in 2020 has continued the bull market in 2019. Because the price of soybean oil palm oil in 2020 is close to a high level and will drop in 2021, with the support of bullishness, soybean oil palm oil may still maintain an upward trend, but the increase will not be as large as in 2020.
