LMC International analyst Julian McGill forecasts crude palm oil at US$590 per tonne CIF Rotterdam by year end, supported by free-market biodiesel demand. He expects soyoil to fall to US$700 per tonne, citing the US-China trade war and biofuel waivers that cut US biodiesel demand.
Palm prices are at two-month lows on rising production and stocks.
Expected weakness in soyoil and rising palm stocks point to softer vegetable oil prices, while biodiesel demand provides some support for palm.
