Oil World forecasts a record global sunflower seed crop of up to 63.3 million tonnes for 2026/27, above USDA's 62.06 million. Harvest delays are possible in Ukraine, and EU sunflower seed imports rose 92%.
A larger private forecast than USDA's signals ample seed supply, which is bearish for sunflower oil and meal prices. Possible Ukrainian harvest delays are a near-term support factor.
After 146 past bearish report events, Soybean Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.9%), and +0.4% over 20.
