Global Trade Review reports that firms are beginning to prepare for the EU deforestation regulation, with some in-scope companies already gathering geolocation data and contacting suppliers. The rules apply to imports from 30 December 2024, but goods may have been produced from earlier raw materials.

After 356 past bullish policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.2% to +2.3%), and -0.9% over 20.
After 548 past bullish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.7% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.
