An OPTA Europe policy panel on the EU deforestation-free regulation is scheduled for 13 February 2024 at BIOFACH. The regulation requires traders to prove imported soy, beef, palm oil and other commodities are deforestation-free and legal, including plot geolocation.
The event is an awareness forum with no immediate supply change, so its price effect on feed commodities is minimal.
After 1,905 past policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.8%), and +0.2% over 20.
After 734 past policy events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.9% to +1.6%), and -0.4% over 20.
After 1,570 past policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.5% over 20.
