Why is soyoil falling on the US-Iran deal?
The deal reduces the risk of Strait of Hormuz disruptions, a key route for fertilizer and energy shipments. Lower input costs for soybean production and reduced global supply uncertainty pressure soyoil prices.
How long will the soyoil decline last?
The move depends on deal progress. If the interim deal holds and the strait reopens, soyoil could see sustained weakness. Any breakdown could reverse the slide quickly.
