20101004 1058 Soy Oil & Palm Oil Related News.

Soy product futures backpedaled in unison with soybeans. Soyoil futures tumbled, succumbing to speculative selling, as traders trimmed risk exposure in the face of increased availability of soybeans for U.S. soybean processors. Soymeal futures fell in step with the rest of the soy complex, but lost product value share to soyoil on spreads, as traders are less fearful of tight nearby stocks, reflective of ample deliveries against the October future, traders said. December soyoil settled 1.26 cents or 2.8% lower at 435.83 cents per pound. December soymeal ended $17.00 or 5.5% lower at $289.90 per short ton. (Source: CME)
