The EU plans to exempt palm oil derivatives used in medicines and soybeans used for sowing from its deforestation regulation. The move is an attempt to reduce the law's impact on sensitive sectors.
Exempting these derivatives and seed soybeans narrows EUDR compliance burdens, slightly easing feared supply restrictions for palm and soy into Europe; the price effect is minor.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
After 554 past neutral policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
