The trade war also sees China offering to purchase a vast quantity of soy bean oil to make up for the trade imbalance. As it is, the details are still very vague but considering that if some agreements are to be materialised, soybean will be used as a trading commodity. What's good for soybean farmer in US will not be good for palm oil as they are substitutes. I am very wary of palm as China has not many traded goods to show to the American exporters to make up the imbalance besides cars, Boeing planes, beefs.
Some more thing you cannot eat or drink if no Palm oil
1. Cannot drink milo anymore in Malaysia Malaysia made Milo got Palm oil. Singapore got 2 type. Malaysia formula with Palm oil or Australian formula with no Palm oil(expensive)
Or best is Buy Milo made in Australia. Zero Palm oil
2. No more tasty Penang hawker food for you. All got Palm oil.
3. No more fast food like McDonald, Burger King, Wendy, Pizza hut, marry brown.
At the end of two days of high-level talks next door to the White House, Liu told Trump China would make a new, immediate commitment to increase soybean purchases. An administration official later clarified the amount as a total of 5m tonnes, in effect doubling the amount bought by China since resuming limited purchases in December.

China is now suffering from Pig Fever
See

That means less purchase of soy as feed meal
Soy oil is the byproduct of Soy meal. So less soy meal means less soy oil
And less soy oil in world market means price of all vege oil will go up
