Soybean oil continues to move higher with volatility over the last week. Soybean oil is moving higher along with canola due to tensions in the Black Sea region. There has been 15% increase in soybean oil since last month.
Dairy
Butter, block and barrel markets are down for the week. Continued bad weather across the country are driving cream and egg markets up.
Beef

Pork

Poultry

Seafood
The Covid resurgence has made restaffing difficult in China. Record low harvest for Gulf Oysters. Oyster companies are scrambling to acquire raw materials to freeze for the half-shell market. Supplies will be tight in the coming months.
