Featured Commodity:

Soybean oil.


Indonesia has stopped all palm oil exports. This has caused the bean oil market to rally significantly. Is this a long-term or short-term play? This ban will most likely remain on until local supplies are replenished or the price of veg oil decreases significantly.

On the July futures the market peaked out at 83.32 which is the highest the market has ever gotten.
