# India traders 'washout' soybean oil shipments to lock in price rally gains

> Indian traders have cancelled about 75,000 mt of soybean oil cargoes from Brazil and Argentina, with washouts possibly reaching 100,000-120,000 mt. Buyers are taking profits after a sharp global rally, and domestic prices sit about $30/mt below landed import costs.

## Why it matters

Cancelled purchases reduce near-term Indian import demand for South American soyoil, which weighs on export prices. The domestic price gap also signals weaker import pull.
