Soybean Oil Drops Most in Month After US Halts Strikes on Iran
The News
Soybean oil futures in Chicago fell the most in a month on Monday after the US paused strikes on Iran, reducing fears of conflict escalation. This caused crude oil prices to drop, which in turn dragged down grain and oilseed markets. The decline reflects market relief over de-escalation in the Middle East.
