Soybean oil futures jumped over 3% on August 12, with the September contract up 94 basis points, following USDA balance sheet changes that added 200 million pounds to biodiesel use. Palm oil rallied about 1.75% after a report showed Indonesian output through June was below last year, and crude oil rose more than $1 per barrel on draws in US inventories.
Higher biodiesel use and a firm palm oil supply picture support vegetable oil prices, while the crude oil rally strengthens biofuel economics that underpin soyoil demand.
