U.S. soybean oil futures were higher on Wednesday following a session of thin, sideways trading. The January soybean oil contract closed above 48.00 cents per pound, up 33 basis points per pound, or 0.7 percent, at 48.24 cents per pound. March soybean oil ended at 48.66 cents per pound, up 15 basis points per pound.
