The US soybean oil market remained under pressure on Wednesday November 13 amid a host of bearish macro and fundamental factors.
Sources continued to report hearing no bids for soybean oil from the fuel side in the spot market beyond December. Buyers and sellers are all waiting on tax credit guidance for next year.
