Spot prices for US palm oil and palm olein were steady to slightly lower on Tuesday July 23, with benchmark palm oil futures in Malaysia taking a breather from their recent uptrend.
On Tuesday, Fastmarkets assessed palm oil, refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD), fob US Gulf at $0.50-0.51 per lb and palm olein, RBD, fob US Gulf at $0.5025-0.5125 per lb, both down by $0.25 per lb from Monday July 22.
Still, palm oil and palm olein prices were up week on week and month on month at a three-month high.
The price spread between palm oil and tallow has virtually closed. Fastmarkets assessed packer-grade bleachable fancy tallow (BFT) at $0.51 per lb Chicago basis on Tuesday, unchanged from Monday.
