Weekly Review:

The domestic sunflower oil market operated smoothly overall this week. With the start of the holiday season, prices remained largely unchanged, with only sporadic sales. Due to transportation restrictions in Kazakhstan, sunflower oil arrivals were limited, and overall inventory remained tight, which was beneficial to the sunflower oil market. On the demand side, the market was mainly driven by restocking for essential needs. Traders adopted a cautious approach, and stockpiling was largely completed, which was detrimental to the sunflower oil market. Tight sunflower seed oil supply and continuously rising prices provided support for sunflower oil. The sunflower kernel market saw slow trading and a weak trend.

It is expected that sunflower oil prices will remain stable in the short term (January-February). Limited overall port inventory, dealer restocking nearing completion, and firm international prices will likely lead to a continued stable, narrow-range fluctuation in the sunflower oil market in the short term.

Weekly Review:

The domestic sunflower seed oil market remained stable this week. Currently, the arrival volume of sunflower seed oil at various ports is limited, and the supply at ports remains tight, supporting the sunflower seed oil market. Sunflower seed oil prices are at a high level, and the substitution effect of oils is obvious, limiting the potential for further price increases. On the demand side, with the Spring Festival approaching, the sunflower oil market is experiencing faster sales, which is beneficial to the sunflower seed oil market. International prices rose again, with Ukrainian and Northern European FOB prices remaining between $1460 and $1465 per ton during March and April. On February 9, 2026, the quoted price for sunflower oil supply in February 2026 increased to $1305.00 per ton, an increase of $20 per ton.

Domestic sunflower oil prices are likely to remain stable after the holiday. Domestic supply and demand are relatively balanced. If international prices continue to rise, sunflower oil prices may still have room to rise, but not significantly. Higher prices could suppress demand and hinder market sales.
