“I’m not going to bid on what I don’t need,” has been an oft repeated statement over the last couple of days from both end users citing well covered positions and from traders who have suggested that many of their short positions have been covered over the last few weeks.
Choice white grease did trade lower and stronger kills combined with weaker biodiesel demand have pushed prices down in the FOB markets today.
