# Vegetable oil prices rose slightly after falling in the previous week

> Vegetable oil prices rose slightly after a prior-week decline, driven by speculative buying after drone attacks in the Black Sea on sanctioned tankers and a Russian vessel carrying sunflower oil. December Malaysian palm oil futures rose 4.2% for the week to 4,159 ringgit/t, despite slower November exports and higher production. Brent crude traded near $62.5/barrel.

## Why it matters

Black Sea shipping risk tightens sunflower oil supply and supports vegetable oil prices, while expected Indonesian biodiesel expansion adds upside for palm oil. Rapeseed oil faces pressure from rising supply.
