Sunflower Oil Market Report

Veg oil market remains under pressure with Trump imposing another 200 bln tariff on Chinese products. China too will retaliate and thus we are seeing panic selling in veg oils specially Bean oil. Palm too is not supported and once again the MDEX is down about 0.5%. Ukraine crop is looking fantastic and this is adding to pressure on new crop prices. Buyers for OND have reduced their buying ideas to 715 and we expect further correction downward. A rally in sunflower oil will be sold at every level. Old crop sunflower oil is not getting traded at all as bean oil continues to sell around USD 710 levels CIF India. Black Sea FOB is still kept unchanged for Aug / Sept with little or no buying support. If this continues we won’t be surprised to see a spread of USD 50/- between new crop and old crop sunflower oil prices. Indians are consuming their stocks intelligently and markets are still in big disparity. We at Athena feel that the prices of USD 770-775 for old crop and about USD 750 for New crop will find buying support and destinations likes India / Middle east and Europe will find buying support … till then Short covering and need base buying will keep the business alive.
