Trading was quiet today with indications sideways from yesterday’s trade. Nearby supply remains tight with meat packers struggling with limited livestock supply and margins that are tight to outright negative.
Prices moved higher this week across all products, although the trend in the nearby Gulf UCO market was lower as the week progressed. The distiller’s corn oil (DCO) market had the biggest jump at 6.8 percent week-on-week.
