French Secretary of State Brune Poirson called for EU-wide measures to halt deforestation in supply chains, at a Paris meeting attended by 150 participants. France has extended its palm oil alliance and announced closer monitoring of forest-risk commodity imports, prompted by the 2018 Trase Yearbook on soy sourcing.
Calls for EU-wide supply chain rules point to possible future restrictions on soy and palm oil imports, a longer-term demand risk rather than an immediate price driver.
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.
