Soybean oil net short positioning reached a four-week high, and money managers' bullish soybean sentiment hit a five-month low. NOPA April crush came in at 173.2 million bushels, down 6.8% from March but a record for April.
Planting progressed to 49% as of May 14, ahead of last year and the 10-year average, while El Niño concerns emerged for Southeast Asia.
A soft crush pace and weak sentiment are bearish, while El Niño risk to Southeast Asian oilseed and palm supply offers some support. Crush data shapes the outlook for both soybean oil and meal supply.
