The Greens/EFA group sent a letter to the European Commission restating Parliament's demands for an EU rule on imported deforestation. The demands include protecting all ecosystems, indigenous rights and due diligence for all products without a minimal-risk category.
The Commission's proposal is expected on 17 November.
Tighter due-diligence demands could raise compliance costs for soy and palm oil imports into the EU, but this is a political position with no direct price effect yet.
After 554 past neutral policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
