Agriculture and biofuels
Keep up with the latest news, price trends and forecasting of this vibrant and evolving market
In today’s constantly evolving agriculture commodity markets, continuous change is the new norm. Factors like severe weather, geopolitical tensions, domestic policies, biofuel demand, food security concerns and shifting trade flows keep impacting the market’s daily reality, resulting in high price volatility.
Staying informed about the market’s pulse and interpreting global supply and demand patterns or price signals has become more challenging yet crucial. Traditional methods like global price benchmarks are no longer sufficient. The market now relies on decentralized trade and agriculture price data, demanding an objective, locally immersed entity to provide more reliable information.

US vegetable oil trading in the cash market was extraordinarily quiet to start the new week on Monday July 7.

Soybean futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange fell sharply on Monday July 7 on renewed uncertainty over a US-China trade agreement, which market participants expected on July 3.
Vegoils futures traded broadly in positive territory on Wednesday July 1. In Asia, crude palm oil (CPO) futures rose steadily on higher related vegoils, while soyoil futures rallied on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange amid a drop in US stocks and as US biofuels developments were in focus.
