US cash vegetable oil markets were sluggish on Monday July 15. Most eyes were glued to soybean oil futures in Chicago, which ended lower following a volatile session; prices plummeted early in the day before losses were pared.
On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, August soybean oil futures closed at $0.4642 per lb on Monday, down by 23 basis points per lb, or 0.5%, from $0.4665 per lb on Friday July 12.
