The US animal fats and oils market was mostly quiet on Thursday April 18, with a handful of price changes reported. Choice white grease (CWG) into the Missouri River traded as low as 37.50 cents per lb FOB, with indications within a range of 37.50-39.50 cents per lb FOB.

Yellow grease buyers from the renewable diesel sector pushed back on current offers, according to one market source. Yellow grease traded as low as 38 cents per lb into the Gulf for May.
