Trump threatens ban on Chinese used cooking oil imports, sparking stock rally amid minor trade dispute.
President Trump threatened to ban U.S. imports of used cooking oil from China, citing China’s halt in soybean purchases as an "economically hostile act," sparking a rally in agricultural stocks like Bunge and ADM.
However, Chinese cooking oil exports to the U.S. had already dropped 65% through August 2025 due to earlier tariff hikes and China’s removal of export tax rebates.
Market analysts say the trade is minor compared to soybeans, with U.S. imports now negligible, and the stock surge reflects speculation rather than immediate supply changes.
The move is seen as symbolic, aimed at supporting domestic biofuel producers amid broader trade tensions, including U.S. sanctions and China’s export controls on rare earths.
