U.S. soybean futures fell on June 16, 2021, to their lowest level in nearly two months, as global vegetable oil prices retreated from multi-year highs. CBOT soyoil dropped its 3.5-cent limit after an all-time high the prior week, and Euronext rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also fell.
The EPA's consideration of relief from biofuel blending mandates added to the selloff.
Falling vegetable oil prices and reduced biofuel demand expectations lower soybean crush value and pressure soybean prices. Fund long positions unwinding adds further downside risk.
