Chinese soybean oil fell 2.69% and palm oil fell 3.16% in a single day on August 18 after a sharp prior rally. Soybean oil had risen more than 6% over two weeks, supported by a bullish USDA report and strength in Malaysian palm oil.
The one-day drop reflects profit taking after a rally, and soyoil's weaker performance relative to palm oil points to pressure from inventories. Price direction will depend on the next USDA and Malaysian palm data.
