Current oil price trend soybean oil, palm oil and coconut oil

Crude oil prices have continued to slide all week and look likely to decline towards the $50 price by Christmas.
Also new reports of a global glut in edible oil from both Soybean and Palm oil will only add to the downward pressure. At the moment the only thing holding off a greater slide is monsoon rains slowing Palm oil during December.
Coconut oil is tracking other edible oils lower and as it head towards the $1100 mark some are even predicting it to break through the $1000 level during early 2015 if nothing changes.
