# Rapeseed prices fall: crude oil and oilseeds under pressure

> Crude oil fell back to mid-October levels at the start of the week, pulling oilseed futures lower. Euronext rapeseed for February and May 2027 slipped below €550/t before recovering somewhat on Tuesday. Soybean futures in Chicago hit their lowest level in about eleven weeks after USDA raised its US soybean crop estimate to a record.

## Why it matters

Weaker crude reduces the biofuel pull on vegetable oils, and a record US soybean crop adds supply, so soybean and rapeseed meal values face downward pressure for feed buyers. Rising river levels could ease logistics and restore trade flows.
