Energy futures fell as diplomatic developments and easing supply outages reduced the war premium, while the EIA forecast tight refined-fuel supplies through the end of 2027 and raised its 2027 U.S. retail diesel forecast by 54 cents to $5.03 per gallon. Brent, WTI, gasoil and heating oil prices declined; the article also says USDA's WASDE report lifted soybean oil, widening the soybean-oil/gasoil spread and pushing the renewable-diesel crush margin below $1 per gallon.
Lower crude and gasoil prices can reduce feedstock-linked energy costs, while stronger soybean oil raises the value of the oil component of soybeans and can support crush economics. The article reports offsetting forces, so the direct feed-commodity price signal is mainly bullish for soybean oil.
