China imported 95,900 tonnes of soybean oil in October, and imports for January–October were 21.53% higher than a year earlier. Over the same ten-month period, palm oil imports fell 10.93% year on year, while rapeseed oil imports declined sharply; domestic soybean prices in Heilongjiang remained weak amid cautious buying.
Higher Chinese soybean-oil imports add to available edible-oil supply and may weigh on soybean-oil prices, while lower palm-oil imports could partly offset pressure in the broader vegetable-oil market.
After 152 past bearish trade events, Soybean Oil moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.1% to +2.1%), and -0.1% over 20.
After 133 past bullish trade events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.7% over 5 sessions (64% higher; middle half -0.8% to +2.3%), and +1.7% over 20.
