# Weak Palm oil and trade disputes push edible oils ever lower - TM Duché & Sons Ltd

> Palm oil prices fell further this week as rising output offset any recovery, and soybean prices hit a 10-year low early in the week. Coconut oil and desiccated coconut prices stayed weak, and Philippine buyers were reducing volumes. The commentary cites the US-China trade dispute and possible European bans on palm oil as additional pressure.

## Why it matters

Oversupply in palm and soy oils, combined with trade and biofuel-policy uncertainty, keeps edible oil prices under pressure. Lower prices lower the cost of vegetable oil inputs for feed and rendering.
