[QUOTE="AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds, post: 7843470, member: 142623"] [HEADING=1]Is palm oil the base of supported vegetable oils?[/HEADING] Recent support within oilseeds markets is due to a variety of reasons spanning from soyameal demand to US export demand, as well as the liquid (oil) market. Global trends have transpired into our domestic rapeseed values. Last Friday (12 Nov), delivered OSR (into Erith, Feb-22) was quoted at £612.50/t, up £11.00/t, on the week before. Oilseed rape will likely sit at the top of the oil/oilseed complex for the rest of this marketing year due to tight global supplies. However, other commodities within the vegetable oil/seed complex can drive the sentiment, filtering down into domestic rapeseed values. [HEADING=2]Remembering palm oil[/HEADING] Palm oil is a big player in the vegetable oil market. Europe’s use of palm oil relies solely on imports to fulfil demand. The EU commission forecasts palm oil imports at 6.2Mt for the 2021/22 marketing year. The USDA peg 2021/22 EU imports of palm oil at 6.9Mt. [IMG alt="GMD 17 11 2021 graph.PNG"]https://projectblue.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/Market%20Intelligence/cereals-oilseeds/Grain%20Market%20Daily/2021/11.%20November/17%2011%202021/GMD%2017%2011%202021%20graph.PNG[/IMG] As the graph shows above, palm oil sits at the bottom of the vegetable oil complex. Meanwhile, as mentioned in the introduction, rape oil (due to scarcity this year) sits at the top. But all oils drive one another. [HEADING=2]Recent support for palm oil[/HEADING] Since July, palm oils discount to other oils has narrowed. Malaysian palm oil futures (delivery 3 months from now) have increased 28.8% (in USD terms) since the start of July. Recent news, such as differences in Malaysian palm oil export data, can influence prices. Malaysian exports for 1-15 November 2021 have risen compared to the same period in October, but depending on which data source you look at they have jumped anywhere from 10.3% to 29.4% . It is expected that these strong exports and lower production (Malaysian outputs is less between November and March) will reduce Malaysian palm oil inventories. Monthly ending stocks for October are currently pegged at 1.83Mt, which is the second highest so far for the 2021 calendar year and is up 17% year-on-year. [HEADING=2]What could happen?[/HEADING] Although Malaysian palm production will slow, stocks remain high. If palm oil prices do not retract, we could see other oils such as soy, rape and sun stay inflated. This is because conventionally palm oil is the cheaper source of vegetable oils. This will inherently have impacts on the price of the oilseed that produce these oils, like rapeseed. Although this news around palm can drive sentiment in the second half of this marketing year, the main watch points will likely be: [LIST] [*]South American soyabean crop production – weather is favourable in Brazil currently [*]Whether Chinese demand is strong in the second half of the 2021/22 marketing year.
