Biodiesel margins rise, but window of opportunity limited
Biodiesel margins continued to rise during the week to Friday November 22. The bean oil/heating oil (BOHO) spread boosted margins by falling to its lowest level since August 27.
The reduction in bean stocks in this morning’s WASDE has the Board excited and showing a lot of green. As of noon CT, nearby bean meal prices are up $16 from Tuesday’s close of $336. There was some light trading for MBM done out of the Mo. River market at $315 today, but the market was otherwise quiet. Sellers seem to have most, if not all, of this week’s material sold.
Porcine trading was down today, $1550 – 1575 Mo. River.
