Last week, the domestic vegetable oils market as a whole operated under pressure and showed weakness, with soybean oil and palm oil exhibiting divergent trendssoybean oil was relatively more resilient, while palm oil led the decline. The core drivers were: a pullback in international crude oil prices, which weakened the overall support from the biodiesel theme for vegetable oils; Malaysia's palm oil entering its seasonal production increase cycle coupled with weak exports, leading to a weakening fundamental outlook that pressured domestic markets through rising import costs; and the domestic market's own reality of high inventories and weak demand, though soybean oil found some support due to inventory structure and export expectations. Market sentiment remained cautious, trading was light, and basis levels were generally steady to weak.
