Biodiesel margins rise, but window of opportunity limited
Biodiesel margins continued to rise during the week to Friday November 22. The bean oil/heating oil (BOHO) spread boosted margins by falling to its lowest level since August 27.
DDGs prices were mostly steady across most locations, while the Minnesota/Dakotas market showed an increase. Market participants reported values that are consistent with current price ranges and observed a quiet tone in the market today.
Most CME grain prices were higher on Monday. The only grain market with a decrease was March wheat, which dropped $0.095 and closed at $5.90/bu. March soybeans jumped $0.0775 and settled at $11.96/bu. Additionally, March soymeal increased $4.30 and closed at $361.10/st, and March corn remained unchanged at $4.42/bu. A round of technical buying has helped boost soybean prices, partly driven by a better-than-expected set of export inspection data from the USDA. Wheat prices continue to face negative pressure due to competition overseas and a strengthening U.S. Dollar. However, corn prices remain steady following some light technical buying.
