Technical tallow trades higher on otherwise quiet day in US fats and oils market

The US market for animal fats and oils was quiet on Wednesday October 16, with many industry participants in Nashville for the American Fats and Oils Association meeting.

A railcar of technical tallow did trade at 49.5 cents per lb Chicago basis, up a one-half cent per lb from the last traded level.

The tone of the meeting has been somewhat bearish due to the lack of certainty regarding tax credits.

Historically, the tallow market has moved lower in the fourth quarter because of inventory drawdowns and an increase in supply.
