# Low prices and earlier harvests stimulate commodity market • De Molenaar

> European feed commodity commentary reports that soybean meal in Chicago is trading between $270 and $290 per ton and is stable. Rapeseed meal prices have fallen sharply, particularly for July and August-October delivery, while sunflower meal is slowly declining. The euro is near 1.17 against the dollar, making soybeans attractively priced.

## Why it matters

Falling rapeseed and sunflower meal prices and a favorable euro support soybean meal's competitiveness in European compound feed. Substitution toward rapeseed meal may be limited as its prices remain high relative to soy.
