Reduced U.S. exports and shifting trade routes tighten global soybean oil availability for importers, supporting vegetable oil prices while buyers reroute supply.
After 224 past bullish trade events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
