Used cooking oil (UCO), distillers’ corn oil (DCO) and yellow grease all traded lower on Friday September 6 due to pressure from the sinking heating oil and soybean oil markets, sources told Fastmarkets.
The exception was the California market, with reports of higher UCO trading.
The October soybean oil contract finished the day at 40.21 cents per lb, the lowest nearby month settlement since August 16.
